Gabon: Difference between revisions

As a result of the civil war, the government convened to discuss and negotiate a streamlined system of government with a democratic flair. The subsequent discussions and negotiations were a public affair, with many citizens involving themselves in the drafting process. The negotiations would end after small concessions had been granted to the Lord High Chancellor and the Executive Council at the time. The new system, named the Chancellery Act would keep the Lord High Chancellor as a hereditary position, retaining all the powers of his predecessor and the Executive Council would no longer be appointed by the Lord High Chancellor and were from that moment on, elected by the citizenry every three months barring the first three months from the signing which saw the current Councillors carried over.

The Executive Council was renamed to the Lord's Council and it's head, formally the Leader of the Executive Council was henceforth renamed to Vice Chancellor and elected by the Council itself. The Act was passed with one of the largest majority of bills in Gabon post civil war era.
