Gabon’s military rulers said the new constitution has been overwhelmingly approved in a referendum, according to provisional results published on Sunday.
The interior minister said 91.8 per cent of voters had said “yes” to the charter, with a turnout estimated at 53.5 per cent.
The junta in power, led by interim President Brice Oligui Nguema, has promised it will be a stepping stone in the transition to democratic rule, tentatively scheduled for the summer of 2025.
