Gabon President Ali Bongo announces he will run for a third term.

News

Gabon’s President Ali Bongo Ondimba, who has been in power for almost 14
years, announced on Sunday that he will stand for a third term in the presidential
elections scheduled for August 26.
For the time being, Mr. Bongo is the clear favorite for the presidential election, as
various opposition parties have failed to form a single coalition, with some twenty
personalities having already announced their intention to run against the outgoing
head of state.
The 64-year-old head of state was first elected in 2009 on the death of his father
Omar Bongo Ondimba, who had ruled the country for over 41 years and was
narrowly re-elected in 2016.
His candidacy will have to be ratified by a special congress scheduled for Monday of
his all-powerful Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG), as a formality, since the party
has been begging him to run for a third term for over a year.
Official candidatures close on Tuesday.
