Gabonese voters overwhelmingly approved a new constitution with 91.8% in favor, establishing term limits, barring family succession, and setting qualifications for presidential candidates who must be Gabonese.
Interior Minister Hermann Immongault reported a voter turnout of approximately 53.5%, with the voting process described as free of serious incidents, reflecting a committed step towards democratic reform.
The revision of Gabon's constitution includes important changes, such as abolishing the prime minister's position and altering presidential terms from five to seven years, freshening up the political landscape.
General Brice Oligui Nguema emphasized that this referendum marks a significant commitment by the military government to transition Gabon towards a civilian regime by summer 2025.
