Nguema seized power in a military coup in 2023, the eighth in West and Central Africa between 2020 and 2023, that ended the long-standing rule of his predecessor Ali Bongo and his family over the oil-rich but impoverished nation.


While Gabonese largely welcomed Bongo's ouster, some analysts were concerned the junta would seek to remain in power.

The new charter did not bar Nguema from running for the presidency, which is the case for other transitional leaders.

"I am ready to preside over the destiny of our country."
