Gabon's military leader announces March election
Gabon will hold presidential elections on March 22 this year, said Military leader General Brice Oliqui Nguema on Thursday. The country approved a new constitution last year, paving the way for elections. It limits the president’s time in office to two, seven year terms. General Nguema has yet to say if he will run for president. Gabonese rights activist Franck Jocktane tells VOA's James Butty the opposition is opposed to General Nguema running for president.
