Gabon adopts new electoral rules, allowing security forces to run and setting presidential term limits.

Gabon's transitional parliament has adopted a new electoral code that allows security forces and magistrates to run for office, a move seen by critics as favoring transitional President Brice Oligui Nguema. The code introduces two parliamentary seats for Gabonese living abroad and sets term limits for presidents at two seven-year terms. The changes aim to pave the way for a return to civilian rule, with elections expected in August 2025.
