Earlier on Wednesday, Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba was reelected as the country's head for a third term after securing 64.2% of the vote. Following the election body's announcement, the Gabonese military delivered a televised address, declaring that the election results were canceled and all institutions were dissolved, a French news agency reported. The president has since been placed under house arrest, while his son has been detained.
