Gabon’s citizens are set to cast their ballots on Saturday in a presidential election anticipated to see junta leader Brice Oligui Nguema emerge as the nation’s first elected leader post the 2023 coup that ousted the Bongo dynasty.

General Oligui, who spearheaded the 2023 coup, currently leads in the polls, hinting at a probable victory.
