Gabon CTRI transition and institutional reset 2023-present

GAB·2023 – present·Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI)
Leaders: Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema (transition president and president, 2023-present) · Raymond Ndong Sima (transition prime minister, 2023-2025)

Doctrine — stated goals and content

Gabon's CTRI framed the 2023 takeover as an institutional restoration after contested elections and long Bongo-family rule. Its transition programme created interim institutions, organized a national dialogue and constitutional referendum, and shifted fiscal governance toward greater state control and transparency over natural-resource and public-investment decisions.
