Gabon is set to hold its first presidential election since a military coup in August 2023 ended the Bongo family's 56-year rule. The vote is seen as a crucial step for the military-led government to gain legitimacy and public support. International observers, including a Commonwealth Observer Group, have arrived to monitor the election process. Religious leaders, including Catholic bishops, are urging citizens to embrace peace and view the election as a chance to shape a new democratic future. The outcome will determine whether the country moves toward stability or faces further political uncertainty.
