Gabonese Minister of Justice has resigned from the government and the ruling party of President Ali Bongo. Minister Seraphin Moundounga reportedly under pressure from the opposition to cancel the elections, ran a poor campaign in the Nyanga province and has been quoted as saying he wants to enjoy his total freedom and time with family.

There has been no official reaction from the President Bongo majority government as the resignation does not seem to appear as an event of great importance.
