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

Electoral system

The Senate has 70 members, of which 55 were elected and 15 were to be appointed by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

The 100 members of the Chamber of People's Representatives were elected by closed list proportional representation in multi-member constituencies.
