Gabon will hold its first presidential election post-2023 military coup that ousted Ali Bongo Ondimba. The coup, led by Gen. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, ended over 50 years of political dominance by Bongo’s family. The election represents a significant shift in Gabon’s governance amid public discontent.

Gabon is set to conduct its inaugural presidential election following the military coup in 2023, marking a significant political shift in the nation. The coup, which deposed long-time leader Ali Bongo Ondimba, ended a political dynasty that had prevailed for more than five decades. Interim President Gen. Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, who initiated the overthrow of President Bongo, is now overseeing the election process, responding to public dissatisfaction regarding governance.

This election symbolizes a crucial turning point for Gabon, reflecting the people’s desire for a change in leadership after years of perceived mismanagement. The actions of the interim president will be closely monitored as Gabon navigates its new political landscape post-coup.
