Gabonese presidential election, 1993
- Gabonese presidential election, 1993
Gabon held a presidential election on 5 December 1993. Incumbent President Omar Bongo Ondimba, in power since 1967 (making him Africa's longest-serving ruler), sought another seven-year term against 12 other candidates. It was Gabon's first multiparty election, and Bongo won the election with 51.2% of the vote. However, Paul M’ba-Abessole, claimed he won and threatened to form a rival government. Riots in 1994 practically brought the country to a standstill until Bongo agreed to attend a peace conference with opposition groups in September 1994, in which a coalition government was formed until the 1996 parliamentary elections, in which Bongo's Gabonese Democratic Party won by a landslide.
