The full government is verified against the Official Journal (decree no. 2026-176 of 24 April 2026 as corrected by decree no. 2026-181 of 29 May 2026); names follow the corrected spelling. The government portal gouvernement.cg refused automated access. No later change to the government was found in searches, but Official Journal issues after 2 July 2026 were not checked. Titles are translated from French by Govpedia. Ministers' 'since' dates are the date of the decree naming the current government, not the date each first took the post. Parties are not given because the decree does not state them.
