The leader of the Oligui NGUEMA coup wins the poll

Gabon’s military leader General Bris Oiliguy Nguema – who headed the coup that ended with a 60 -year dynasty in 2023 – won the election on Saturday on Saturday with more than 90% of the vote, the previous results show.

On the eve of the vote, criticism claimed that the new Constitution and the Electoral Code were designed to give Ngue a convenient way to higher work.

Some opposition heavyweights who could create a serious political task were expelled from the race.

His victory in the election enshrines his power, almost two years after he subtracted President Ali Bong’s death, whose family has been in power in Gabon since 1967.

The 50-year-old Nguyha faced another family of other candidates, including former Prime Minister Elena Claude Bil-nze, who served in Bong mode, and two unwavering parties of the former PDG party, Stefana Defana Ilako and Allen Bunger.

“Bris Cloror Oligueham Nguema was elected (president) by an absolute majority of votes, from 575 222 votes,” said Interior Minister Herman Imong.

His main contender, beaten, received just over 3% of the vote.

More than seven out of 10 registered voters took part in the poll, which the authorities and some observers welcomed, as the election meant, were transparent and peaceful.

However, some voters, as well as beaten for NEZ, complained about cases of voting violations.

Nguyam’s victory brings him a seven -year mandate and resources to combat corruption and poor management, which characterized Bongas’s time.

Highly articulated former commander of the elite republican guard turned out to be very popular with the population, which got rid of dynastic government, promising to rid the country from the patient who ruined Gabon’s image.

A small, rich oil and woody central African nation for only 2.5 million people.

Despite their resources, about 35% of the population still live below the poverty line of 2 (1.50 pounds) per day.
