Oligui Nguema puts together a Senate dominated by UDB party members
The Gabonese president was personally involved in the talks between parties leading up to the senatorial elections of 8 and 25 November. He has heavily favoured his own party, the Union Démocratique des Bâtisseurs, which, after securing an overwhelming majority in the National Assembly, is expected to do the same in the Senate.
