Gabon's President Ali Bongo Ondimba addresses the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly at U.N. Headquarters in New York City, U.S., September 21, 2022.
These include the introduction of a single ballot that requires voters to pick a presidential candidate and lawmaker from the same party.
Bongo's camp has positioned him as the firm favourite to win the race, although there has been no reliable polling.
His main threat comes from joint opposition candidate Albert Ondo Ossa, 69, an economics and management professor who has campaigned on the need for change and better economic opportunities.
I am convinced that this year there will be changeover in Gabon", said pensioner Alain Moussavou at the opposition rally.
