In Garissa, Kenya, which is almost exactly on the equator, the day length varies between 12 hours 6 minutes and 12 hours 9 minutes. So it is 12 hours if you are rounding to hours.

Pontianak in Indonesia is right on the equator (I'm seeing 1 minute 14 seconds south latitude at Wikipedia).

timeanddate.com gives (https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/indonesia/pontianak) variation between about 6.5 minutes and 7.5 minutes above 12 hours, long at the solstices and short at the equinox. The difference is due to the sun setting vertically at the equinoxes and at a slight angle to vertical at the sunset.
