Gabon’s President Ali Bongo announced the appointment of the country's first female Prime Minister Rose Christiane Ossouka Raponda to the role of vice president and named Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze to replace her as PM on Monday. The move came a few months ahead of the republic’s general elections, scheduled for the second half of this year.
