The military of Gabon announced the cancellation of the election results and the dissolution of government institutions Gabon’s President Ali Bongo Ondimba was re-elected as head of state this morning with 64.2% of the vote.
The opposition has denounced the election, in which Bongo seeked to extend his family’s 56-year grip on power, as fraudulent. A lack of international observers, the suspension of some foreign broadcasts, and the authorities’ decision to cut internet service and impose a nighttime curfew nationwide after the poll has raised concerns about the transparency of the electoral process.
Gabon‘s former President Omar Bongo had 70 bank accounts, 39 apartments, 2 Ferraris, 6 Mercedes Benz cars, 3 Porsches and a Bugatti in France. He ruled for 42 years (from 1967 to 2009). His son, Ali Bongo has been President since 2009. He has just been overthrown in a coup.
