This article discusses the Chamber of Deputies in Equatorial Guinea, their electoral system and the presidents of the chamber.
The Chamber of Deputies is the lower house of the Parliament of Equatorial Guinea.
Although vested with considerable powers under the country’s constitution, the Chamber has been dominated by the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea since its establishment, and there is virtually no opposition to executive decisions. Indeed, there have never been more than eight opposition legislators in the body.
