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.
