The ruling Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG) recently convened its provincial council meeting in Oyem, which concluded on November 9. According to Antoine Megne M’Eyi, the party's deputy secretary-general, the meeting showcased a strong sense of cohesion among party members. The council allowed members to thoroughly analyze measures adopted during a seminar-workshop on party text reappropriation and reconstruction, held in Libreville last October.
The meeting, which began on November 6, brought together delegations from the five departments of Woleu-Ntem province. Megne M’Eyi praised the intellectual and political vitality of party militants, citing the quality of discussions during commission work. He attributed the success of the event to the collective efforts of the delegations and commended Jean-Frédéric Ndong Ondo, president of the council's bureau, for effectively leading the proceedings.
In his address, Megne M’Eyi urged PDG militants to be more active in the political arena, spreading the party's message to every household. He emphasized the importance of party growth and expansion, instructing militants to prioritize these efforts in the coming months. The deputy secretary-general also stressed the need for dialogue among party members, echoing recommendations from the party president.
The PDG has reaffirmed its unwavering support for Gabon's head of state, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. A motion of support for the president was read during the meeting by Frédérique Eyang Beyeme, a member of the National Council. This declaration underscored the party's commitment to the president's policy agenda.
Prior to the closing ceremony, Nestor Ayi, the party's national secretary for Woleu-Ntem province, read a message from PDG president Blaise Louembé. The president urged militants to remain mindful of their responsibilities and the expectations of party members and sympathizers. The council also welcomed new members, including several former party affiliates.
The provincial council meeting resulted in several proposals and recommendations, which will be submitted to the party's 13th ordinary congress. Megne M’Eyi expressed satisfaction with the meeting's outcomes, describing it as a reflection of the party's unity and commitment to its core values.
