Branco cabinet
The Branco cabinet was the 13th government of São Tomé and Príncipes , in Portuguese the XIII Governo Constitucional de São Tomé e Príncipe . The government of the African island state São Tomé and Príncipe was formed by Prime Minister Joaquim Rafael Branco on June 22, 2008 after the previous ADI - MDFM - PCD coalition under Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada and his PCD – MDFM cabinet broke up during a vote of no confidence on May 20.
The electoral alliance MDFM - PCD agreed with the MLSTP-PSD on a grand coalition led by Branco.

When the incumbent President de Menezes was elected party chairman by his party MDFM at an extraordinary party congress in December 2009 , a dispute arose between him and Prime Minister Branco (MLSTP-PSD) as to whether this accumulation of offices was compatible with the constitution. As a consequence, the four MDFM ministers left the government, so that the Branco cabinet was sworn in in a slightly different form in January 2010.
