Ali Bongo Ondimba launches into the race for a 3^e mandate at the head of Gabon.

Gradually overcoming his health problems, Ali Bongo Ondimba therefore broke the silence on his own succession in 2023. In any case, this is what his statement of the day suggests.

Ali Bongo is more than convinced that the Gabonese people support the PDG and in proportions almost never seen in the whole history of this party. “The momentum is in our favour. Every day, we garner support, “he rejoiced, alluding to the mergers-absorptions and the return of the pédégistes (members of the CEO) who tried themselves in the opposition. “As in the Bible, we must welcome them with open arms. They are our brothers, they are welcome,” he said, aware that they are so many tributaries who join his river, the flow of which continues to grow.
