00:00Briso Ligingema, the leader of Gabon's transitional government and the military figure, who led the 2023 coup, has claimed a decisive victory in the country's presidential election, securing 90.35% of the vote, according to provincial results released by the Ministry of the Interior on Sunday.

00:20In the rest, Ligingema's closest competitor, Alain Claude-Billy-Beyinzer, garnered just 3.02% of the vote, while the remaining six candidates failed to break the 1% mark. The election we saw at 70.4% for the turnout marks a significant step in Gabon's return to constitutional rule after the military-led transition.

00:44After his coup against President Bongo, Ligingema had initially pledged to hand power back to civilians' authority.
