2024 Gabon constitutional referendum
The 2024 Gabon constitutional referendum is scheduled for 16 November 2024.[1] The vote is on a new constitution.[2]
The referendum may lead to the return to a civilian regime which their military junta promised after the coup d'état in 2023.[3]
Background
[edit]After 54 years of leadership under Omar Bongo and his son Ali Bongo the 2023 coup brought about military rule.[4] In September 2024, a draft copy of a new constitution was handed to transitional president Brice Oligui Nguema.[5] Gabon’s parliamentarians submitted their proposed amendments ahead of a 22 September deadline.[6]
