Gabon is about to announce President Ali Bongo as winner of the 2023 Presidential elections to extend his family’s 56 Year rule in the country.

President Ali Bongo, who has served two consecutive seven-year terms, is standing for a third.

Ali’s father, Omar Bongo ruled with an iron fist from 1967 to 2009. After his death, his son, then the defence minister, took his place as president and has ruled ever since.

Until last week, 19 candidates were to run for the presidency in this election.

But on August 18, six candidates sprang a surprise by forming the Alternance 2023 coalition, naming independent candidate Albert Ondo Ossa as their joint candidate.

“Gabon is not the property of the Bongos,” he said after the announcement.

Yesterday it was reported that the government shut down the internet, removed names of candidates from the ballot papers, & stopped international observers and journalists from covering the elections, while electoral officers arrived so late at the polls.

Ali Bongo, even with his deteriorating paralysis is desperate to remain a lifetime President.

Just negodu. A near-paralyzed man who couldn’t coordinate his mental state, but knows how to suppress opposition. If military seize power now, some people will be complaining.
