Equatorial Guinea's government resigned on Tuesday after failing to meet its objectives, according to Vice President Teodoro Obiang Mangue. President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mbasogo appointed Manuel Osa Nsue Nsua as prime minister in 2024. The president's son and the country's vice president, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, stated on X that the prime minister had presented the resignation of all members of the government because it had barely reached 10% of its targets. The specific targets were not detailed. A statement from the ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) indicated that the government had implemented various initiatives in areas such as public administration, infrastructure, public services, and economic development during its tenure. The party described the collective resignation as part of institutional reorganization processes periodically carried out to adapt the government structure to the state's new priorities. President Obiang has been in power in Equatorial Guinea since 1979, making him the world's longest-serving president.
