Titles are Govpedia's English translations of the official French titles. The Primature's undated roster of the Suminwa II government is the official list used, but it contains evident errors, so each seat was compared with Financial Afrik's report of the August 2025 list: it shows Samuel Roger Kamba as Minister of Industry and SME Development and omits the Health ministry, whereas the Health ministry's own site (sante.gouv.cd, news to 16 October 2026) names Kamba as its minister, so he is recorded at Health; it gives Guy Loando the title 'Relations avec le Parlement et Aménagement du territoire' while also listing Jean-Lucien Bussa at Territorial Planning (Financial Afrik and the CIA list give Loando Relations with Parliament only); and it carries a stray annotation on a vice-minister's entry. The Industry seat has no confirmed holder since Aimé Boji resigned on 20 October 2025 and is left out. Name spellings follow the Primature (for example José Panda Kabangu, given as José Mpanda Kabangu by Financial Afrik). 'Since' dates are given only for members who took their current post in the August 2025 reshuffle; the date of the ordinance itself was not found on an official page. No 2026 change to the government was found.
