The presidential elections in Rino Island for the 2022-2023 term were held between August 28 and September 2, 2022, in conjunction with the parliamentary election. Former President and Minister Anastasio López won the presidential election as the sole candidate, obtaining 99.3% of the votes in an election where citizen participation reached 71.3% of the electoral roll.[1]

The election took the form of a referendum and was approved with only one vote against.[1]

López's supporters also won an absolute majority of seats in the Grand Senate. Two months after the election, irregularities were discovered in the opposition's candidacies, resulting in López's government gaining full control of the Grand Senate. Former President Marco Antonio Rino resigned his citizenship shortly thereafter.[2]
