Gabon – In an unprecedented move in Gabonese politics, President Brice Olégi Ndjima issued a decisive directive demanding that all ministers who recently won seats in parliament resign from their executive positions.
The president explained that the decision comes within the framework of consolidating the principle of separation of powers. The goal is to prevent conflicts of interest between legislative and executive work. He emphasized that the next phase requires clarity of responsibilities and full commitment from those who hold public office.
This decision is unprecedented in Gabon’s political history, where a number of ministers have traditionally retained their posts despite being elected to parliament. Observers see this move as a significant shift towards greater transparency and the consolidation of sound democratic practices within state institutions.
