Brice Oligui Nguema has been elected President of Gabon with 90.35% of the votes, according to provisional results from the country’s recent presidential election.
This result gives President Nguema a strong mandate from the people, less than two years after he led a peaceful transition of power that ended the Bongo family’s nearly 60-year rule. His leadership since then has focused on reforms, transparency, and national development.
Many citizens see his victory as a sign of confidence in his efforts to restore stability, fight corruption, and build a better future for Gabon.
The election was conducted peacefully, with high voter turnout and strong public participation. As he begins this new chapter, President Nguema has pledged to continue working for unity, progress, and improved living conditions for all Gabonese.
