Gabon's military leaders who deposed president Ali Bongo in August announced on Monday that elections would be held in August 2025 under a timetable that first foresees national dialogue.
"August 2025: elections and end of the transition," regime spokesman Ulrich Manfoumbi Manfoumbi said on live state TV, referring to an official but "indicative" transition timeframe, adopted by cabinet which has yet to be submitted to a national conference next year.
