GABONESE MILITARY OFFICERS ANNOUNCE SEIZE OF POWER.(VIDEO/PHOTO).




Gabonese military officers announce seize of power

A group of senior Gabonese military officers appeared on national television in the early hours of Wednesday and said they had taken power, minutes after the state election body announced President Ali Bongo had won a third term.

Appearing on television channel Gabon 24, the officers said they represented all security and defence forces in the Central African nation. They said the election results were cancelled, all borders closed until further notice and state institutions dissolved.

"In the name of the Gabonese people ... we have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the current regime," the officers said.

Gabon’s incumbent president, Ali Bongo, won a third term in the presidential election with 64.27% of the vote, the Gabonese election centre said on Wednesday, after a delay-plagued general election that the opposition denounced as fraudulent.
