LIBREVILLE - Brice Oligui Nguema will be sworn in as "transitional president" next Monday before the Constitutional Court at the presidency, Ulrich Manfoumbi Manfoumbi, spokesperson of the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions, announced on Thursday.

"The president of the transition will take the oath before the Constitutional Court on Monday, Sept 4, 2023, at the residence of the Republic," Manfoumbi said.

Military leaders on Wednesday appointed Brice Oligui Nguema, commander-in-chief of the Gabonese Republican Guard, to head the transition in the name of the CTRI after starting a coup earlier in the day following the announcement of the reelection of President Ali Bongo Ondimba by the national electoral body.
