Despite claims from the opposition in Gabon about winning the presidential election on Saturday, the announcement of official results is still pending. President Ali Bongo wanted to be President for a third time. This would mean that his family, the Bongo dynasty, would continue to be in power for over 50 years. On Monday, the campaign manager for the main opposition candidate, Albert Ondo Ossa, said at a press conference that they were winning in the partial vote count and had a strong advantage. However, they did not provide evidence to support their claim. In Gabon, only the Gabonese Election Centre has the legal permission to release the results. "President Bongo needs to respect and accept the decision made by the people of Gabon. He should peacefully transfer power to Mr. Ossa," said Mike Jocktane, who manages Mr. Even though the opposition has said something against it, the group in charge of counting votes has not provided any updates on how it is going or when they will finish. The opposition has criticized and accused the elections of being unfair and dishonest. Right now, the internet is still not working and the government has put a curfew in effect. On Monday evening, people in the capital city Libreville hurried to obey the curfew rules. Some people who couldn't arrive on time were stuck in distant places. State media said on Monday that a group of criminals has been arrested. Their goal is to create disorder once the results are revealed.
