The general who came to power in Gabon’s coup last week is to be sworn in as “transitional president” this Monday, taking control for an unspecified period after overthrowing the country’s 55-year Bongo dynasty.

General Brice Oligui Nguema, the head of the elite Republican Guard, led officers in a military coup on Wednesday against President Ali Bongo Ondimba, scion of a family that had ruled for more than five decades.

The ousting came just moments after Bongo, 64, was proclaimed winner in last month’s presidential election, a result branded as fraud by the opposition.
