Gabon's junta chief Brice Oligui Nguema has romped his way to victory in the first presidential election since he took power in a 2023 coup, with provisional results giving him more than 90 percent of the vote.
Nguema, who ended more than five decades of corruption-plagued rule by the Bongo family in August 2023, won 90.35 percent of the vote, Gabon's Interior Minister Hermann Immongault announced Sunday, with 90 percent of votes counted.
