Equatorial Guinea government resigns after missing performance targets

The government of Equatorial Guinea has collectively resigned following what officials described as a significant failure to meet governing objectives.

Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue Nsua formally submitted the resignation of the entire cabinet on Wednesday, marking a major political development in the Central African nation.

According to Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, the administration had achieved only about 10 percent of its stated goals after nearly two years in office, though specific targets were not disclosed publicly.

The decision was framed by senior officials as part of a broader principle of accountability in public administration, where government performance must be measured by tangible results.

The ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) issued a statement indicating that President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo had expressed concerns about the government’s lack of economic dynamism and its ineffective management of state resources.

The statement also alleged issues of corruption and the use of public office for personal enrichment, which it said contributed to poor governance outcomes.

President Obiang is expected to appoint a new government in the near future, with the stated aim of forming a more effective and dynamic cabinet capable of advancing national development programs and projects.The restructuring is presented by authorities as an effort to improve governance performance and accelerate economic progress.

While the resignation is collective, it remains unclear whether individual officials will retain roles in a future administration or whether broader political changes will follow.The announcement highlights ongoing concerns about governance efficiency, accountability, and corruption within the country’s political system.
