Partial cabinet. Only seats that a recent source confirms are recorded: the President, Vice President, Chief Minister and the three ministers named on 11 August 2026. No official list of ministers could be opened (the State House cabinet page returned 'not found'; the Finance and Foreign Affairs ministry sites returned an empty page and a server error). Wikipedia's 'Cabinet of Sierra Leone' list was not used because it still showed the pre-August 2026 finance and foreign ministers and two labour ministers; the 2024 CIA World Leaders list and the Sierra Leone Web cabinet pages (2018 and 2021) are out of date. Parliamentary approval of the August 2026 nominees was not found; Premier Media reports Swarray assuming office at the Foreign Ministry in August 2026, and the swearing-in dates are not recorded. The spelling Swarray follows the State House notice as reported (also printed Swaray). Party affiliations are not recorded.
Sierra Leone is a presidential republic[1]. The President, Julius Maada Bio, is both head of state and head of government[3][4][5]. Govpedia records 6 members of its cabinet.
