Ali Bongo re-elected as Gabon's new president

President Ali Bongo of Gabon has been re-elected as the country's new president to continue from where he stopped.Ali Bongo is from one of the Africa’s longest ruling political dynasties.
Interior Minister Pacome Moubelet Boubeya said on Wednesday Bongo had won 49.80 percent percent of the vote, to 48.23 percent of rival candidate Jean Ping in a closely fought race.

Election analyst,François Conradie, with NKC African Economics, suspected fraud in the election and had this to say;
“We think, based on what the opposition has reported and on what sources have told us about people’s voting preferences in Gabon, that Mr Ping won more votes than Mr Bongo, and this election is a one-round, first-past-the-post contest. It seems that the fight is happening within the Cenap,” Conradie said.
