  • Scoring: Niger

    • Date of joining: 1960-09-20
    • Expected count from Wikipedia (all): 18 + 3 non-Prime Minister
    • Number in Wikidata: 18
    • PositionHolderHistory warnings: 4
    • Score: 172/210 = 82%

    The periods where the Prime Minister was not Head of Government are not currently reflected in the “Office Held by Head of Government” statement.

  • Scoring: Madagascar

    • Date of joining: 1960-09-20
    • Expected count from Wikipedia (Gabriel Ramanantsoa onwards): 23
    • Number in Wikidata: 10
    • PositionHolderHistory warnings: 6
    • Score: 88/230 = 38%

    This does not currently include anyone during the periods when the office of Prime Minister was abolished. The “Office held by head of government” should be updated to reflect those periods.

  • Scoring: Gabon

    • Date of joining: 1960-09-20
    • Expected count from Wikipedia (all): 11*
    • Number in Wikidata: 5
    • PositionHolderHistory warnings: 3
    • Score: 44/110 = 40%

    This currently does not include anyone from the 1961–75 period when the office of Prime Minister was abolished (I suspect it should probably include Omar Bongo as President.)

  • Scoring: Cameroon

    • Date of joining: 1960-09-20
    • Expected count from Wikipedia (Charles Assalé onwards): 16
    • Number in Wikidata: 7
    • PositionHolderHistory warnings: 5
    • Score: 60/160 = 38%

    From 1961–72 the two halves of Cameroon each had their own Prime Minister within a Federation. I suspect each of these positions should have a separate Wikidata item.

    As with a few other countries there were several distinct entities during the relevant period (the Commonwealth of Mauritius until 1992), but the office of Prime Minister currently spans both.
