Gabon’s 7mp speeds up territorial expansion alongside Oligui Nguema

After a 20-day tour across all nine provinces of Gabon, the founding president of the Party for the 7 Wonders of the Gabonese People (7MP), Joël Ngoueneni Ndzengouma, presented the results of a mission that went beyond simple grassroots outreach. The tour focused on restructuring local party bodies, recounting active members, and strengthening the Movement for Oligui Nguema 100% (MON 100%), reflecting the 7MP’s drive to cement its position within the presidential majority under the Fifth Republic.

From June 4 to 23, 2026, Joël Ngoueneni Ndzengouma travelled across the entire country to meet with party militants, sympathisers, local officials, and ordinary citizens. At a press conference held at the 7MP headquarters in Libreville, he described the initiative as part of a strategy to revitalise the political formation and consolidate support for President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. Founded in 2010, the 7MP now positions itself as a party within the presidential camp. The MON 100%, launched in February 2025, was created to back the reforms undertaken by the head of state and to mobilise citizens around his agenda.

A tour focused on political restructuring

Beyond engaging with communities, the mission aimed to reorganise the party’s structures nationwide. According to 7MP leaders, the work included recounting active members, registering new adherents, identifying fresh local leaders, and strengthening provincial coordinations. The MON 100% also used the tour to expand its presence in all nine provinces, with the goal of uniting more citizens behind the president’s vision.

For Joël Ngoueneni Ndzengouma, the tour came at a time when institutions of the Fifth Republic are being set up. Discussions with militants reiterated the 7MP’s role as a political force firmly allied with the head of state, reaffirming its support for the reforms initiated since the Transition. This move is part of a broader reshaping of Gabon’s political landscape, where several parties are working to solidify their territorial roots following presidential, legislative, and local elections.

Outlook turned toward the grassroots

Following the mission, the 7MP announced several actions to further its development: strengthening provincial coordinations, increasing citizen meetings, structuring the MON 100%, and setting up a permanent mechanism to relay public concerns.

Beyond organisational results, this tour marks a step in the 7MP’s strategy to secure its place within the presidential majority and accompany the political direction of the Fifth Republic, while seeking to deepen its connection with communities across the national territory.
