Titles are English translations of the official Spanish titles by Govpedia. On 2026-10-13 the Presidency's cabinet page (presidencia.gob.ec/gabinete) listed no names, and the homepages of the foreign, defence, health and government ministries did not name their ministers (the health ministry's authorities page was out of date), so the ministers are sourced from Ecuadorian press, not verified.
