History
Established in 1990,[1] the party nominated Jean-Pierre Lemboumba-Lepandou as its candidate for the 1993 presidential elections. He finished ninth in a field of thirteen candidates with 1.4% of the vote. In the 1997 local elections the PGCI won 14 seats.[2] In 2002 it joined the Presidential Majority, supporting the Gabonese Democratic Party.[3] It won one seat in the Senate in the 2003 elections, and went on to win two seats in the 2009 elections.[4]
The party nominated five candidates for the 2011 National Assembly elections,[5] winning one seat.[6] It was reduced to a single seat in the Senate in 2014 elections.[7]
gollark: Well, I use it on my laptop, the demos seem pretty good, and I have a Linux terminal on my phone too.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> The specs are basically RPi3-level, which I'm okay with. I personally am fine with Linux on phones/desktops, don't try and enforce your preferences on me. And I don't like/trust Google, you can if you want but I don't.
gollark: See, this is a very evil device.
gollark: Happily, the PinePhone seems pretty great for repairability and runs Linux, so I hope it will be possible for me to get one.
gollark: My *old* phone had a removable plastic back panel so you could swap the battery. My new one is metal backed and I don't know if you can access the battery or replace the screen at all.
