In Western Central Africa, the Atlantic coast is rich in speeches such as Gabon crude oil. The country with a population of 2.2 million is part of both the Congo basin and dances with millions of hectares of rainforest full of planting and animal species.

However, the natural resources did not become any meaningful division of these natural resources, as a family and a small political elite are driven by the country in the last five decades. The opposition is weak, experts say; The press is mainly weak; and Gabonese is unsight of politicians.

Gabon’s Lingua Franca is French, located in the equator and includes local languages ​​Fang, Mbene and several others. Libreville, Breezy Coast capital, is the largest city in Port Gentil port port.

Who works?

Four candidates were approved by all men and college college.

All works independently. Therefore, candidates are from Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG), Douglas Yates, Douglas Yates, a professor at the American Graduate School in Paris, Al A. The PDG has been in power since 1967 and only represents the parties that are really really established.

Brice Clotaire Oligui NGUMA (50): As the head of the royal protection, NGUMA, on Augue 30, 2023, the former President, who has a former President Ali Bongo, led the circulation.

Earlier, military worldwide, Omar Bongoya, Morocco and Senegalia served as an assistant to Omar Bongo before placing abroad. After that, the elite royal guard, protecting the president, protected the government until the seizes.

After the coup, NGUEMA promised to hand over to a civilian government over two years. He moved rapidly for moving rapidly as a military government in West African countries, Niger, Burkina Faso and Guinea. He was also able to keep the former colonial leader in Gabon, and others, while others active Cut ties with France.

A new constitution was adopted by a serious two-term limit after the November referendum.

NGuMa promises to “lift” and turn the Gabo economically. Since the coup, he has been cleared of a military image, assembled, colorful campaign rallies since Suave suits and shirts. In one, a moon was seen on the stage to cheer up higher than their supporters.

Alain Claude Bilie-by-Nze (57): In a country where the opposition has been historically weak due to decades of decades, Bilie-by-NZE’s NGUMA is the biggest problem that creates the biggest problem.

Career politician, unlike most elite colleagues, comes from a low-income background. In 2015, he entered politics and continued to invest in several ministers as part of Ali Bongo. 2023 was the Prime Minister until the coup.

Bilie-by-NZE, supported together for the Gabon political group, selected the election as low as the door-door campaign. He tried to change his role in the previous government – even until 2023, the former judge criticized the PDG party. “Other Gabon” promises were directed to the city’s renovation and better health insurance and general economic growth.

However, experts say that many voters are harsh to trust him.

“Despite his efforts to remove him from his past, everyone knows that he is the last prime minister of Bongo and therefore he is tired.”

SS is my train: The medical doctor, who was famous like Iloko, was once a spokesperson for the former judge PDG party before falling in the hostility of time. He occurred together for the Gabon group, but two people collided, caused Iloko to go out in March.

His rallies are colorful: In a campaign event in Libreville, Iloko wore a traditional dressing and danced with his supporters and danced with his shirts.

Despite the political past, Iloko claimed “claimed” “for 56 for 56 years” in an interview with the LOCAL Publishing L’Association.

He claimed to try to do the necessary things in the former government, but often closed. Now he promises to build roads and schools, especially in rural areas. He also wants to reduce government costs and increase the welfare of teachers. As a military government’s Staunch critic, Iloko called on the establishment of an independent election commission, gives a lot of strength to the president’s very strength in November.

Joseph Lapensee Essingone (53): A technocrat, Essingone, is a director in the country’s Tax Directorate. Gabon and France studying in France, he presented a new face in politics in politics.

Usher says that Essingone, the current political system and economic reforms want to “fall.” He ended the end of the shelter of resources and evil management if he was elected.

Continued by Bongo mode?

NGuEma is preparing to win the elections, analysts agree.

Supporters praised him for stepping on the civil rule:

• In April last year, civil society and the members of the diaspora called the civilian government as one of the steps to return to the civilian government, “inclusive national dialogue.
• He controlled the writing of a new constitution that confirms the two-term limit. Before the elections, NGUMA also put on infrastructure projects since being the leader: more than 1,400 kilometers of new roads (870 miles), distribution of more than 400 taxi cars and distribution of more than 400 taxi cars.

However, critics say that NGUIMA remains part of the same structure that controls the Gabo for decades and increases the wealth of those relations.

• They claim that the national dialogue includes a military representative.
• His transition cabinet also celebrated some Bongo-cyclist officials, and the critics and Ali Bongo’s PDG candidacy.
• Gabonese rules have been a new constitution in November until the presidents of the transition presidents will be nominated. Critics say that NGUIMA is preparing to work to work, although some opposition leaders are banned for age demands.
• The Constitution was also transferred to the Interior Ministry instead of an independent commission of elections.

“In recent years, such as we have seen other military shortcomings in Africa, these passages are accompanied by the level of political participation and transparency, the Center for Strategic Studies of the Center for Strategic Studies of the Center for Strategic Studies.

“Critics in Gazon have been a target of intimidation. We see, so it is not to move forward, but the existing unequal process continues in a sustainable manner,” he said.

However, NGUIMA’s progress with the development of election promises and infrastructure, the American Graduate School in Paris is progress. Alternatively, Yates, Gabon will be pasted.

“The most obvious quality is that the Bongo dynasty, unlike young young people, in fact, live in Gabon,” said Oligui Nguem.

Ali Bongo’s first son in London referred to the 33-year-old Noureddin Bongo Currently in Home Arrest Breastfeeding in Gabon and fraud with his mother and France National, Sylvia Bongo. NGUIMA’s new constitution prevents the dual national human-people from running for chairmanship, a movement of an action against Bongo Heir. Ali Bongo was himself released Shortly after the coup, remains in prison and in the capital.

Gabon’s democracy can still be young, but it is on the way, Yates added.

“Because it is ‘true democracy’, I prefer to measure this concept ‘less’ democracy ‘more’ a regular scale.” The measurement has improved here, “he said.

What else?

• The results will be announced within two weeks of voting.
• Analysts are weak in Gabon according to the history of “free and fair” choice.
• There are also concerns about violence. In 2016, the opposition protests took place after the Ali Bongo won.

• In 2023, despite the fact that violence will not be violated, the strain occurred in the country because the tension began.
