Gabon is holding a constitutional referendum on Saturday that could reshape its political system – introducing a seven-year presidential term, renewable once, while abolishing the post of prime minister. It marks the first vote under the military-led transitional government since a coup ousted longtime leader Ali Bongo in August 2023.
"Gabonese women and men, I call on you to participate in this referendum, because our only enemy is abstention," said transitional president Brice Oligui Nguema.
