2025 Gabonese parliamentary election

In July 2025 president Brice Oligui Nguema, who came to power following the 2023 coup, established his own political party, the Democratic Union of Builders (UDB). ==Electoral system==

The members of the National Assembly are elected via the two-round system: 143 constituencies are in Gabon proper, while two seats are elected by overseas Gabonese. Electoral rolls underwent revision from 14 July to 12 August. Local electoral commissions were set up by 26 July, while nomination of candidates was held from 27 July to 7 August. ==Candidates==

There were around 1,600 candidates competing for 145 seats in parliament, while around 17,000 individuals are competing for various municipal and departmental council positions. ==Campaign==

Campaigning began on 17 September. ==Conduct==

More than 900,000 people were eligible to vote. Polling was slightly delayed in Libreville due to early morning rain. Allegations of fraud and mismanagement of the process were made by the opposition. One unsuccessful candidate lamented a "return of the old system". Former Prime Minister Raymond Ndong Sima exclaimed "Back to square one! ... We are continuing the system that we were supposed to have discarded for the good of all." ==Results==

Preliminary results released by the interior ministry indicated the Democratic Union of Builders was in the lead, followed far behind by the Gabonese Democratic Party of the Bongo regime. A second round of voting was ordered for 11 October in 77 constituencies where a candidate did not obtain a majority. In the constituencies of Ntoum 1st Arrondissement and Douigny 1st elections were held on 18 October with a second round on 2 November. Elections were cancelled in the constituencies of Lékoni-Lékori 1st, Ndougou 2nd and Ntem 2nd. By constituency ==Notes==
