After nearly two years’ delay, legislative elections were finally held in October. The ruling ‘Parti Democratique Gabonais’ (pdg) retained a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, winning 98 of the 143 seats. President Ali Bongo subsequently suffered a stroke while on a trip to Saudi Arabia. After being released from hospital in Riyadh, he was discreetly flown to Morocco, where he spent the rest of the year recovering at a private residence in Rabat.
