The government of Equatorial Guinea has resigned after failing to achieve key performance objectives, according to Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue.

 

The resignation, announced on Tuesday, followed the submission of a collective resignation by Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue Nsua and members of his cabinet. The move came after the administration reportedly achieved less than 10 percent of its planned targets.

 

In a statement shared on social media, Vice President Obiang Mangue said public office holders must be held accountable for delivering results, stressing that significant state resources had been allocated to address the needs of citizens. He described the government's level of implementation as far below expectations.

 

Although authorities did not specify the exact targets that were missed, the ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea said the outgoing administration had undertaken initiatives in public administration, infrastructure development, public services, and economic growth during its tenure.

 

The party added that the mass resignation forms part of a broader institutional reorganization process aimed at aligning government structures with the country's evolving priorities and development agenda.

 

President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who has been in power since 1979 and is regarded as the world's longest-serving sitting president, is expected to oversee the formation of a new government in the coming days.

 

The development marks a significant political shift in the oil-producing Central African nation, where government reshuffles are often closely watched for indications of policy direction and leadership priorities.
