Malabo replaced Bata as the capital of Equatorial Guinea primarily due to its strategic location and political considerations. Malabo, situated on the island of Bioko, offered better access to maritime routes and was viewed as a more secure location. Additionally, the decision was influenced by the desire to develop the island region and promote economic growth there, as well as the historical ties of the ruling elite to Malabo.
