Equatorial Guinea gov't resigns due to missed targets, Vice President says

President Teodoro Obiang Nguema 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, said 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.

He didn't specify which targets the ​government was expected to achieve.

A statement from the ruling Democratic ‌Party ⁠of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) said that during its time in power the government had implemented various initiatives in areas such as public administration, infrastructure, public services, ​and economic ​development.

"The government's ⁠collective resignation is part of the institutional reorganization processes that are periodically carried ​out in the country with the ​aim ⁠of adapting the government structure to the state's new priorities," the party said in its statement on ⁠Facebook.

President ​Obiang has been in power ​in Equatorial Guinea since 1979, making him the world's longest-serving president.
