Libreville, Gabon – A significant government reshuffle has been announced by the President of Gabon, marking the start of the new year. The changes include the appointment of a new Deputy Prime Minister and the unveiling of the full list of members comprising the revamped ministerial team.
Herman Immongault, formerly the Minister of Interior, has been appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister as part of the reshuffle. This appointment is viewed as a strategic move to streamline government operations and enhance policy coordination.
In a parallel development, Hugues Alexandre Barro Chambrier has been appointed as the Vice President of the Republic. This dual appointment highlights the President’s commitment to strengthening the executive branch.
Under the Fifth Republic’s constitution, the Deputy Prime Minister is entrusted with coordinating governmental work, a role that effectively replaces the traditional Prime Minister position. This gives Herman Immongault a pivotal role in managing public policy and ensuring effective governance.
Following the announcement of these key appointments, the complete list of the new government members was released, solidifying the formation of a ministerial team designed to reflect a reorganized executive power structure. The reshuffle is being interpreted as a move to optimize governance and address key national priorities.
This government restructuring is part of an ongoing effort to consolidate the institutions of the Fifth Republic, as the Gabonese leadership seeks to bolster political stability and modernize governance mechanisms. The changes are expected to contribute to a more efficient and responsive government capable of tackling the challenges facing the nation.
DZWatch will continue to monitor these developments and provide in-depth analysis of their potential impact on Gabon’s political and economic landscape.
