US EditionGabon awaits results in its first legislative and local elections after the 2023 military coup
- On Saturday, September 27, 2025, Gabon conducted nationwide voting for parliament and local councils for the first time following the 2023 military takeover.
- These elections followed the overthrow of the Gabonese Democratic Party's 50-year dominance caused by a military coup that accused President Ali Bongo Ondimba of irresponsible governance.
- Voters elected 145 National Assembly members, including two representing citizens abroad, and local councilors who will indirectly choose 70 senators, mayors, and regional assembly presidents.
- Polls closed at 6 p.m. with vote counting beginning immediately despite a voting cancellation in Ntoum due to candidate tensions, while the interior minister promised free, credible, and transparent elections.
- Preliminary outcomes will be announced on Sunday, with a runoff set for October 11 in districts where no contender secures an outright majority, marking an important milestone in reestablishing constitutional democracy.
