There were then two main politicalparties, the Gabonese Democratic Bloc (BDG), led by Léon M'ba, and the Gabonese Democratic and Social Union (UDSG), led by Jean-Hilaire Aubame.
Although the two parties were evenly matched in popular support, on independence M'ba became president, and Aubame foreign minister.
In January 1998 a new politicalparty, the Rassemblement des Gaullois (RDG), committed to Gabon being an integral part of France, was recognized.
Although the main opposition parties claimed the elections had been manipulated, there was none of the civil disturbance that followed the 1993 election.
Foreign and Gabonese observers have consistently lamented the lack of transformation of primary materials in the Gabonese economy.
Gabonese forces are oriented to the defense of the country and have not been trained for an offensive role.
