Gabon military leader Brice Oligui Nguema wins presidential election
Gabon’s military leader Brice Oligui Nguema has won the country’s presidential election, according to provisional results.
Първоначалните резултати, оповестени в неделя, демонстрираха, че Nguema, който управлява военния прелом от 2023 година, е обезпечил близо 80 % от гласовете.
Based on 90.35 percent of ballots counted, his closest rival, Alain-Claude Bilie by Nze had some 3 percent of the vote and six other candidates failed to win more than 1 percent, the Interior Ministry said.
Nguema, who had been instrumental in ending 55 years of iron-fisted dynastic rule of the Bongo family led by former leader Ali Bongo, was widely expected to win Saturday’s election.
On election day, opposition leader Bilie-By-Nze had warned about “potential ” problems during the counting, but Nguema said the electoral process was “transparent ”.
