Cabinet members are verified against decree no. 60/2026 as published on the government's official website, Guinea Ecuatorial Press; names follow that text. The PDGE party list spells some names differently: Cándido Muatetema Baita, Job Obiang Esono, Victoriano Engonga Ondo, Juan José Ekua Mangue, Fidel Esono Mba; the official page spells Clemente 'Fereiro' Villarino, which Govpedia gives as Ferreiro, as on the PDGE list. The 15 ministers delegate and 20 vice-ministers are not listed. Titles are translated from Spanish by Govpedia. Ministers' 'since' dates are the date of decree no. 60/2026, not the date each first took the post. The President's party is from Wikipedia.
