Marginalized by his closest supporters, the former head of the Gabonese opposition and leader of the Coalition for the New Republic (CNR) met with the political parties and associations of the CNR.
« My meeting with the political parties and associations of the CNR was an opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to a single agenda: the truth of the ballots and respect for the sovereign choice of 2016, » declared the unsuccessful candidate for the 2016 presidential election.
As recognized political parties of the majority and opposition work to respond to the political consultation of February 13th, Jean Ping seems increasingly isolated. In the family photo published after the meeting, there were no well-known politicians.
On his Facebook page, the publication was received differently by the internet users. While some doubt his intellectual capacities, others, fewer in number, praise his « stick-to-it-iveness ».
The former candidate, just a member of the Gabonese Progress Party (PGP), a political party that has been inactive and moribund for several years, seems to have turned his back on the idea of participating in political consultation.
Some are already talking about a missed opportunity to leave with grace.
