The provincial coordinator of the referendum campaign in Haut Ogooué, Jeannot Kalima, during a mega meeting held in Franceville, called on all the populations of the 4 districts of the provincial capital and the 11 departments to vote “yes” in the next referendum scheduled for November 16, 2024.
“The yes of Haut Ogooué must hover over the entire national territory”, launched Mr. Kalima, subsequently calling on his brothers and sisters in the province to an unprecedented mobilization to make history.
The campaign launched this Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the CES Mamadou Lewo Gymnasium in the town of Franceville mobilized people. Young people, adults and old alike flocked from the four corners of the city to come and listen to the message of hope for a bright future.
For Jeannot Kalima, the new constitution which will be submitted for approval to the Gabonese people on November 16, aims “to strengthen political stability, the independence of justice and good governance in Gabon”.
The campaign coordination for Haut Ogooué did not fail to announce the continuation of the campaign in the 11 departments of the province until November 15. Potential voters were called upon to collect their voting cards in order to vote massively on voting day for “yes” to win.

**Interview with Jeannot Kalima, Provincial Coordinator of the Referendum Campaign in Haut Ogooué**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Jeannot Kalima. You recently held a significant meeting in Franceville. Can you tell us about the main goals of this meeting?
**Jeannot Kalima:** Thank you for having me. The main goal of our meeting in Franceville was to rally support for the upcoming referendum. We emphasized the importance of actively participating in this democratic process and encouraged the populations of Haut Ogooué, including all four districts of the provincial capital and the 11 departments, to vote “yes.”
**Editor:** What are some reasons you gave to the attendees to support a “yes” vote?
**Jeannot Kalima:** We highlighted several key points. Firstly, voting “yes” is a step toward greater autonomy and development for our province. It can lead to more resources and more tailored policies that reflect the unique needs of our communities.

We are implementing outreach programs that include town hall meetings, door-to-door campaigns, and leveraging social media platforms to disseminate information and address concerns. We want everyone to feel included and understand how their vote impacts their future.
**Editor:** what do you hope the outcome of the referendum will mean for the people of Haut Ogooué?
**Jeannot Kalima:** I hope it will be a turning point for our people. A successful “yes” vote would signify unity and aspiration for a better future. It will empower us to pursue our development goals more effectively and foster a sense of pride and ownership in our provincial governance.
