 Gabon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruled by autocratic presidents since independence from France on August 17, 1960, Gabon introduced a multiparty system and a new democratic constitution in the early 1990s that allowed for a more transparent electoral process and for reforms of governmental institutions.
The first president of Gabon, elected in 1961, was Léon M’ba, with Omar Bongo as his vice president.
President El Hadj Omar Bongo was re-elected in December 1998, obtaining 66% of the votes cast.

 Namibia - Political
Resolution 435 provided for South African troops to withdraw from Namibia one week before the elections, for PLAN fighters to report to assembly areas, for refugees to return and for 7 500 troops from the UN Transitional Assistance Group (UNTAG) to be deployed (this was reduced to 4 650).
South African troops withdrew totally from Namibia, SWAPO bases in Angola were dismantled, and the elected constituent assembly duly drew up a constitution for a multi-party democracy, with an executive president who could serve only two five-year terms.
Given the long years of conflict, the bitterness of the liberation war, and the legacy of racism and ethnic politics, Namibia has made a remarkable transition to domestic peace, although this is increasingly threatened by instability in neighbouring countries, especially Angola.

On Monday, President Obasanjo of Nigeria and President Mbeki of South Africa held talks with Mr Mugabe and Mr Tsvangirai, telling them a government of national unity was the only way to resolve the country’s crisis.
President Mugabe’s sister is alleged to have menaced Terry Ford, the white farmer shot by a mob on Monday, because she wanted his land.
When Mr Mbeki, President Obasanjo and Mr Howard were mandated as a troika to judge the outcome of the Zimbabwe election, it seemed likely that Mr Mugabe's African peers would not allow him to be sanctioned.

 USAID CP '98: Namibia
As Namibia makes a peaceful transition from minority domination to truly democratic majority rule and achieves full participation by the formerly disadvantaged population in Namibia's economic development, the stability of the entire southern Africa region is improved.
Namibia faces critical environmental challenges that are exacerbated by frequent drought and a lack of perennial rivers.
In addressing the inequality issue, USAID Namibia is focusing on increasing the social, economic and political opportunities of the majority population through interventions in four areas: adult training and human resources development; primary education; environment and natural resources management; and democratic institution building.

The lists are rank-ordered and closed, so that the deputies higher on the list are elected first, and voters cannot modify the order of the list.
Several proposals have been submitted in Congress to eliminate the party list senators, with arguments that a national list is not appropriate for a chamber that represents the states.
However, simply eliminating the PR list would benefit the PRI, which is placed either first or second in all but one of the states, and is thus likely to be opposed by other parties.

 Bolivia: Electoral Reform in Latin America — ACE Electoral Knowledge Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is presidentialist because the president serves for a fixed term and, even though chosen by Congress, does not depend on its continuing confidence.
But it is "parliamentarised" because the president is chosen by the legislature on the basis of post-electoral bargaining, so ensuring majority legislative support and the compatibility of executive and legislative powers.
Both proposals started from the premise that the congressional election of presidents through party bargaining did not respect the people's will, and decisions were taken behind closed doors; people voted, but did not choose the president.
