Answer
The 1993 election in Gabon was particularly controversial during Bongo's reign because of the high number of irregularities reported, including the disappearance of ballot boxes and the use of force by security forces against opposition supporters. This led to widespread protests and the opposition boycotting the second round of voting. Bongo was declared the winner with 66% of the vote, but the opposition rejected the results as fraudulent.
