Uamuzi huo umechukuliwa wakati huu Gabon ikiwa chini ya utawala wa Kijeshi ambao ulimtoa madarakani Rais Ali Bongo.

Uamuzi huo umetolewa na Mawaziri wa Mambo ya Nje wa Jumuiya ya Madola huku wakitoa hoja kuwa Gabon inatakiwa kufanya uchaguzi haraka iwezekanavyo.

Jeshi lilimwondoa Bongo madarakani muda mfupi baada ya kutangazwa mshindi wa uchaguzi wa Urais wa 2023.

Gabon partially suspended from Commonwealth after coup

Gabon has been partially suspended from the Commonwealth after military commanders carried out a coup ousting President Ali Bongo.

The decision was made by Commonwealth foreign ministers meeting on the margins of the United Nations general assembly.

Leaders called on Gabon to uphold the values and principles of the Commonwealth.

They asked the country to hold credible elections as soon as possible.

Gabon's military ousted Mr Bongo from power shortly after he was declared winner of the 2023 presidential election

Mr Bongo had been in power in the oil-rich country since 2009, when he succeeded his father who had ruled the country for 41 years.

He was initially placed under house arrest as military leaders took over, but was later freed and given permission to travel abroad for medical check-ups.

The foreign ministers - sitting as the Commonwealth ministerial action group - have requested Gabon guarantee Mr Bongo's safety and that of his family, and said in a statement that they "strongly condemned the unconstitutional removal of the elected government from office".

They said Gabon's suspension was in place "pending the restoration of democracy". It excludes Gabon from all Commonwealth intergovernmental meetings and events, including ministerial and heads of government meetings.

The new prime minister, Raymond Ndong Sima, was installed as interim prime minister in September, after Gen Brice Oligui Nguema, who led the coup against Mr Bongo, became Gabon's transitional president.
