Opposition candidate Albert Ondo Ossa in Gabon claims to have won the election and calls on President Ali Bongo to transfer power. Ossa's campaign director, Mike Jocktane, asks Bongo to accept the will of the people and peacefully organize the transfer of power. However, official results are still awaited and media are prohibited from reporting on unofficial figures. The government has suspended internet access and enforced a curfew, citing the risk of violence after Ossa's declaration. The army and police have set up roadblocks in the capital to enforce the curfew for the second consecutive night.
