{{Politics of Gabon}}Presidential elections were held in Gabon on 5 December 1993, the first time more than one candidate had contested a presidential election in the country. Incumbent President Omar Bongo, in power since 1967, sought a five-year term against twelve other candidates. According to official results Bongo won in the first round with 51.2% of the vote. However, the main opposition leader, Paul Mba Abessole, alleged fraud, claimed victory, 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 election, which Bongo's Gabonese Democratic Party won by a landslide.[1]CampaignBongo was supported by the "New Alliance", a coalition that included the Association for Socialism in Gabon, the Circle of Liberal Reformers, the Gabonese Socialist Union and the People's Unity Party.[2] ResultsBased on exit polling at the time of the election, the news organization Reuters placed Bongo's share of the vote at about 37%.[3] Voter turnout was 88.1%.[4] | Candidate | Party | Votes | % | | Omar Bongo | Gabonese Democratic Party | 213,793 | 51.2 | | Paul Mba Abessole | National Woodcutters Rally | 70,747 | 26.5 | | Pierre Louis Agondjo Okawe | Gabonese Progress Party | 19,961 | 4.8 | | Pierre Claver Maganga Moussavou | Social Democratic Party | 15,220 | 3.6 | | Jules-Aristide Bourdes-Ogouliguende | Independent | 14,113 | 3.4 | | Alexandre Sambat | Independent | 10,819 | 2.6 | | Didjob Divungi Di Ndinge | Democratic and Republican Alliance | 9,203 | 2.2 | | Léon Mbou Yembi | African Forum for Reconstruction | 7,625 | 1.8 | | Jean-Pierre Lemboumba-Lepandou | Independent Centre Party | 5,768 | 1.4 | | Marc Saturnin Nan Nguéma | Independent | 3,579 | 0.9 | | Simon Oyono Aba | MORENA–Original | 3,446 | 0.9 | | Adrien Nguemah-Ondo | MORENA–Unionist | 1,842 | 0.4 | | Léon Mébiame | | 1,583 | 0.4 | | Invalid/blank votes | 8,875 | – | | Total | 426,594 | 100 | | Registered voters/turnout | 484,319 | 88.1 | | Source: Nohlen et al. |
