A '''one-party state''', '''single-party state''', '''one-party system''' or '''single-party system''' is a governance structure in which only a single [[political party]] controls the ruling system.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Clark |first1=William Roberts |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2KFvJwi8_jwC&pg=PA611 |title=Principles of Comparative Politics |last2=Golder |first2=Matt |last3=Golder |first3=Sona Nadenichek |date=23 March 2012 |publisher=SAGE |isbn=9781608716791 |pages=611 |language=en}}</ref> In a one-party state, all opposition parties are either outlawed or enjoy limited and [[Controlled opposition|controlled]] participation in [[election]]s.

|Although multiparty elections have been held since 1992 and other parties have minimal legislative seats, the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (RDPC), the ruling party since independence, has always retained control of the [[National Assembly (Cameroon)|National Assembly]]. The Cameroonian political system invests overwhelming power in the hands of the President of the Republic, [[Paul Biya]], and the RDPC exists essentially to support Biya and his policies.

However, the opposition has only held at most 2 seats in the [[Chamber of Deputies (Equatorial Guinea)|Chamber of Deputies]] since 1999, and had held no seats in neither the Chamber of Deputies or the Senate since [[2013 Equatorial Guinean parliamentary election|2013]].
