Gabon to Conduct First Presidential Election Post-2023 Military Coup

Gabon will hold its first presidential election after the 2023 military coup that ended a 50-year political reign. Interim President General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema led the coup against President Ali Bongo Ondimba, amidst accusations of poor governance.

Gabon is scheduled to conduct its inaugural presidential election on Saturday following the military coup of 2023, which dismantled a political dynasty that had endured for over five decades. The coup was orchestrated by Interim President General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, who was responsible for the ousting of President Ali Bongo Ondimba. The previous administration faced numerous allegations from the Gabonese populace concerning poor governance.

This upcoming election marks a significant milestone for Gabon as it capitalizes on a new chapter post-coup. The leadership transition, initiated by General Nguema, reflects a pivotal moment for the nation after experiencing prolonged political control under the Bongo family.
