The political party that has ruled Equatorial Guinea since its formation in 1987 is the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (Partido DemocrĂĄtico de Guinea Ecuatorial; PDGE).12
While the country transitioned to a multiparty system following the adoption of a new constitution in 1991, the PDGE has maintained a decisive majority in the legislature, and the regime of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has remained in power through elections that have been widely criticized by international observers for irregularities and fraud.132
