Gabon
On 12 April 2025, Gabonese voters turned out in large numbers—over 70 per cent of eligible voters—to elect Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema as the country’s fourth president, with 94.85 per cent of the vote. This transitional presidential election marked the culmination of a political process initiated on 30 August 2023, when the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI) seized power, ending 56 years of rule by the Bongo family.
