During his father Omar Bongo’s 42-year reign, Ali Bongo Ondimba served as Gabon’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, a deputy in the National Assembly, and finally, Minister for Defense. Following his father’s death in 2009, Ondimba won the election with just under 50 percent of the Gabonese official vote.
