LIBREVILLE, Gabon — On July 14, 2026, Vice-President of Government Hermann Immongault officially handed over the preliminary report of the General Population and Housing Census (RGPL) to the President of the Constitutional Court, Dieudonné Aba’a Owono, for homologation, according to a communication from the Constitutional Court. “We have submitted to the President of the Constitutional Court the report containing the preliminary results of the General Population and Housing Census. This is an essential step in the process of producing official demographic statistics for our country, “declared Hermann Immongault following the meeting.
These statistics are expected to serve as a foundation for future state reforms, including the revision of the register of economically vulnerable Gabonese (GEF) and the redistricting of national electoral constituencies, as well as the revision of the upcoming electoral list.
The handover between the Executive and the High Judicial Authority marks the final institutional sequence provided for by the fundamental texts of the Republic.
The Constitutional Court has emphasized that it does not intend to limit itself to a mere administrative validation of the documents received. Its examination could lead to hearings with the authorities of the Minister of Planning for further clarifications. “Under the authority of its President, Dieudonné Aba’a Owono, the Court will deploy missions of control composed of sworn delegates across the entire Gabonese territory.
These agents will conduct direct verifications with populations and local authorities to ensure the overall conformity of the statistical survey with the required legal standards, “the institution’s communication stated.
Initial trends indicate a strong demographic dynamism in the estuary province, with a high concentration of population followed by Ogooué-Maritime and Haut-Ogooué. These indicators will guide future territorial planning decisions.
