Gabon Votes for Change, a New Presidential Era

In Gabon, a country so fair,
Elections are happening, with candidates to share.
No Bongo family member's on the ballot this time,
A new president will be chosen, a fresh new prime.

Gen Brice Oligui Nguema, a coup leader so bold,
Changed the constitution, to run for the gold.
Eight candidates are vying, with one woman in sight,
Gninga Chaning Zenaba, a shining light.

Former Prime Minister Bilie-by-Nze, a name so grand,
Served under the Bongo regime, with a helping hand.
Stéphane Germain Iloko and Alain Simplice too,
Stalwarts of the PDG party, with a story or two.

Close to one million people, will cast their votes with care,
In Gabon and its diaspora, a new leader will share.
Results may come on Sunday, but the count may take a week,
A new president will be chosen, with a story to speak.

Gen Brice Oligui Nguema, a leader so new,
Embracing democracy, with a heart that's true.
But critics say he's unfair, with a process so tight,
Designed to favour his candidacy, without a fight.
