The oil-producing West African nation’s Vice President, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, announced the mass resignation on X.

He stated that Prime Minister Manuel Osa Nsue Nsua presented the collapse of the cabinet directly due to the severe performance deficit.

The Vice President did not specify which exact targets the government failed to achieve during its tenure.

Prime Minister Osa Nsue Nsua had been in office since 2024, when he was appointed by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. President Obiang has ruled Equatorial Guinea since 1979, making him the world's longest-serving president.

The ruling Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) released a statement on Facebook addressing the sudden political shift.

The party noted that while in power, the administration had introduced multiple initiatives spanning public administration, infrastructure, public services, and economic development.

The PDGE framed the mass step-down as a strategic pivot rather than an administrative failure.

In its official statement, the party wrote: "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 country is now braced for coming up institutional reorganization as the presidency looks to seat a new cabinet capable of meeting the state's updated priorities.
