• General Brice Oligui Nguema has won Gabon’s presidential election, securing 90.35% of the vote, according to provisional results released by the Interior Ministry.
• The second-place candidate, Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze, received just 3.02% of the vote, with other candidates failing to reach 1%.
• The Constitutional Court is expected to announce the final results within a week, formalizing Oligui’s status as president after taking power in a coup in August 2023.

General Brice Oligui Nguema has won Gabon’s presidential election with a commanding 90.35% of the vote, based on provisional results announced by the Ministry of the Interior on Sunday. Alain-Claude Bilie By Nze, the second-place candidate, received only 3.02%, while other contenders garnered less than 1%.

The final results are expected to be officially confirmed by the Constitutional Court within the next week. This announcement will officially confirm Oligui's status as the country's president, following the military coup that ousted Ali Bongo in August 2023. After a 19-month transition period, Oligui will begin his seven-year presidential term.

In a message shared on his social media account, Brice Oligui Nguema expressed his commitment to being "the president of all Gabonese people, without distinction." He emphasized that the country's future would be built not on division, but on unity, dialogue, and action.

Oligui also received congratulations from his counterpart in Guinea-Bissau, President Umaro Sissoco Embaló, following his victory.
