Sinister since the coup d'état by General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguéma on August 30, 2023, the CEO's headquarters suddenly regained color.
Activists returned en masse to attend the installation of Angélique Ngoma, the new provisional secretary general whose fundamental mission is to
revive the party
dethroned from power by the military.
“
Party in power yesterday, party without power today.
Out of dynamism, we continue to say:
“the Gabonese democratic party will never be buried”.”
The new leaders call for unity and mobilization to save the party.
Jean-Marie Ogandaga, former minister: “
We can fall, it’s not a crime to fall.
There is hope.
There is hope that tomorrow will be better than today.
»
Félicien Evoung, grassroots activist, contests the new reorganization of the party.
“
It is a coup d’état which was carried out against Ali Bongo Ondimba who has most of his powers.
»
The current leaders are responsible for ensuring the transition until the next congress which will appoint the new team, assures Paul Biyoghe Mba, first vice-president of the party.
