Forty-eight hours after having submitted his resignation to the President of the Republic, Prime Minister Emmanuel Issoze Ngondet was re-elected in the afternoon of Thursday.
The head of the government thus prolongs his stay at the Primature and will supervise a ministerial team in charge of preparing the legislative elections.
The government, which did not respect the deadlines for unspecified reasons, had to resign after the Constitutional Court had decided to put an end to the powers of the current legislature.
Mr. Issoze Ngondet should quickly form a so-called transition government with a more cohesive team and the old framework that will ensure the shipment of current affairs.
If it takes at least three months to prepare for the organization of the legislative elections, these should be held in the second half of 2018.
The Gabonese Electoral Center (CGE), a structure replacing the National Independent and Permanent Electoral Commission (CENAP), has been set up.
