2013 Equatorial Guinean parliamentary election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parliamentary elections were held in Equatorial Guinea on 26 May 2013, alongside local elections. Following constitutional reforms approved in a 2011 referendum, they were the first elections in which the newly established Senate was elected.[1] The ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea won all but one seat in both houses of Parliament. The only opposition party represented was the Convergence for Social Democracy, which won 1 seat in each chamber. The "Democratic Opposition" bloc, minor allies of the ruling party which placed a combined second in 2004 and 2008, did not contest this election separately.
