Gabon's Brice Oligui Nguema, whose coup ended 55 years of rule by the Bongo family, took oath as president on Saturday before a packed stadium and more than a dozen African leaders.
The former junta leader, who won nearly 95 percent of the vote in last month's election, was sworn in for a seven-year term after 19 months of military rule since he toppled Ali Bongo in August 2023.
