Legislative 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 is elected. The ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea won all but one seat in both houses of Parliament.
