Head of state
VerifiedElected by the House of Assembly in September 2023 against the opposition's nominee; inaugurated on 2 October 2023.
Ministers and titles are taken from the government's cabinet page (dma-gov-cabinet), which carries no date and still lists Miriam Blanchard, who resigned in June 2026; it is therefore not fully current, and changes since its last update may be missing. No page opened says who now holds the Labour, Public Service Reform, Social Partnership, Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development portfolio, so it is left out. Irving McIntyre is also Deputy Prime Minister (since 13 December 2022 per dma-wiki-mcintyre; also dma-cia-leaders); the official cabinet page does not state this, so it is not in his verified title. Party is recorded only for the Prime Minister, the DLP leader; the government is a DLP single-party government (dma-wiki-election-2022).
