Court upholds Gabon Prez Bongo's re-election win
Gabon's constitutional court upheld President Ali Bongo's re-election victory, rejecting an appeal by rival Jean Ping who called for a recount amid allegations of fraud. However, the court cancelled results from 21 polling stations in Gabon's capital Libreville but upheld the EU-monitored elections' outcome. Notably, Gabon's Parliament was burnt down during violence over the election result.
