List of heads of government of the Central African Republic
Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
There have been twenty-five heads of government of the Central African Republic and the Central African Empire. The office of prime minister, the head of government, was created when the Central African Republic became an autonomous territory of France in December 1958. It was originally the highest post of the Central African Republic, though France did maintain a governor in the territory.
After the Central African Republic declared its independence on 13 August 1960, David Dacko held both the prime minister and newly created president of the Central African Republic posts briefly before eliminating the prime minister position and placing all executive power in the office of the President.
President Jean-Bédel Bokassa restored the office of prime minister to assist him in governing the country in 1975, shortly before he declared himself emperor. He selected as prime minister Elisabeth Domitien, who become Africa's first female head of government. The position, as it exists today, was recreated in 1991, when President Andre Kolingba was forced to relinquish some of the executive power. The current prime minister of the Central African Republic is Félix Moloua, since 7 February 2022.
