Rulers
The line of President of Equatorial Guinea - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Francisco Macías Nguema | 1968 – 1979 | 11 years | executedWikidata's manner of death | |
| Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo | 1979 – in office | in office since 1979 | still in office | nephew or niece |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1968 – 1979. Only 11 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of Equatorial Guinea, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
