	Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (Spanish: Partido Democrático de Guinea Ecuatorial, PDGE) is the ruling political party in Equatorial Guinea.
		Despite the legalization of opposition parties in 1991, the PDGE has been the dominant party since its inception and this situation is unlikely to change in the near future.
		The party has a extremely narrow base, which is the Esangui clan of the Fang tribe, located in the Mongomo region of Río Muni.
