Ali Bongo, aged 64, assumed power after the lengthy rule of his father, Omar Bongo, who maintained a firm grip on the Central African nation for over four decades until his passing in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Before last Wednesday&#8217;s coup, Ali Bongo, who had been in office for nearly 14 years, was declared the winner of a contentious presidential election marked by voting delays and internet disruptions. Additionally, the Bongo administration had hindered foreign press coverage of the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI swear before God and the Gabonese people to faithfully preserve the republican regime,\u201d said Mr Nguema during his swearing-in ceremony, witnessed by cheering Gabonese on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving as quickly as possible doesn\u2019t mean organising elections in a rush where we\u2019ll end up with the same mistakes, where the same people will continue in power, and it all comes back to the same thing,\u201d Mr Nguema said.<\/p>\n<p>However, many say Mr Nguema\u2019s regime is more a continuation of Bongo\u2019s dynasty in Gabon, while the international community continue to condemn Mr Bongo\u2019s ouster.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Albert Ondo Ossa, the opposition candidate, charged the Gabon military to conclude the counting of the August 26 election and declare him president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m asking it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/08\/30\/gabon-military-officers-claim-power-say-election-lacked-credibility\/\">(military)<\/a> to restore republican and constitutional order,\u201d Mr Ossa told Le Monde in an interview on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe electoral process must be brought to a conclusion, and the results must be announced so that I can become the legitimate president and then the legal president once they have been validated by the Constitutional Court,\u201d said Mr Ossa.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from his call for friends and the international community to \u201cmake noise\u201d in a short video after his government was toppled on Wednesday, nothing has been heard from him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior to the coup last Wednesday, Ali Bongo, who had been in power for nearly 14 years, was declared the winner of a controversial presidential election characterized by voting delays and internet disruptions.
