Historical background
GABON - REPUBLIC - LÉON M'BA
(1960-1967)

Léon Mba is the first president of independence when he died in 1967. Overthrown by a military coup in February 1964, he managed to return to power with the help of French troops. In 1967, former vice-president Omar Bongo succeeded him.
