The Prime Minister, Jean Eyeghe Ndong , resigned along with his entire government on January 19th, one month away from the legislative elections that re‐confirmed the wide majority of the coalition of President Omar Bongo , who has held power for 40 years, and to whom the prime minister is himself connected. News sources said that the resignation from the executive is expected by the Gabonese constitution. President Bongo, who personally received the resignation of the executive, should soon hand a new mandate for the constitution of a new government. It is highly likely that Ndong, named prime minister a year ago, shall be called again to choose and lead the new government. The Gabonese Democratic Party ( PDG ), former single party and which formed the government, has won 82 seats of the 111 available at the National Assembly; another eight have gone to its main ally, Rally for Gabon ( RPG ) of Deputy Prime Minister Paul Mba Abessole and the remainder have been split by six small movements from among the 40 that complete the government coalition. The opposition has won a total of 16 seats. ( Misna news agency website, Rome 20/1 )
