**Military Takes Control in Gabon, Annuls Election Results**
In a startling turn of events, army officers in Gabon have seized control of the nation, making their declaration on national television. These officers, identifying themselves as part of the CTRI (Committee of Transition and Restoration of Institutions), have announced the cancellation of the election results from the previous Saturday. This election had initially declared President Ali Bongo as the victor.
The military officers have articulated that their intervention aims to preserve peace and terminate the current ruling regime. The electoral commission had previously declared Albert Ondo Ossa as the second-place finisher in the election, with a 30.77% share of the votes. However, Bongo’s team vehemently refuted Ondo Ossa’s claims of electoral irregularities.
This unprecedented move has the potential to bring an end to the 53-year-long reign of power held by Bongo’s family over Gabon. As the situation continues to develop, further updates are anticipated to shed light on the unfolding events in the West African nation.
