General elections were held in Gabon on 26 August 2023. Incumbent president Ali Bongo ran for re-election, representing the Gabonese Democratic Party, which had ruled the country continuously since its independence from France in 1960, including 41 years under Bongo's father, Omar.
Bongo was declared the winner on 30 August. However, a coup d'état began shortly afterward, leading to the election results being annulled.
Local and departmental elections were held the same day.
