General Brice Oligui Nguema's coup d'état in August 2023 caused political upheaval but marked a monumental step towards Gabon's democratic renewal. Gen Oligui has solidified his support, leading to increased political stability. The transitional government has outlined a clear transition timeline, including scheduling an election for August 2025. The recently concluded National Dialogue is set to provide further details on the election and the new constitutional framework. Following the latest political advancements, Gabon was reinstated into the Economic Community of Central African States in March.
