Brice Oligui Nguema has won a landslide victory in Gabon's presidential election, following his role in the military coup that removed the long-standing Bongo regime. He promises to implement democratic changes and reforms over his seven-year term. The context of his rise to power is critical, as Gabon joins the list of several West and Central African countries where military takeovers have become increasingly common in recent years. Observers are left questioning whether Nguema can transform his military rule into a legitimate democratic government.
