Gabon military leader Brice Oligui Nguema wins presidential election

Gabon’s military leader Brice Oligui Nguema has won the country’s presidential election, according to provisional results.
Initial results announced on Sunday showed Nguema, who led a 2023 military coup, had secured nearly 80 percent of the vote.
Based on 90.35 percent of ballots counted, his closest rival, Alain Claude Bilie-By-Nze, had some three percent of the vote while six other candidates failed to win more than one percent, the Interior Ministry said.
