The political landscape was dominated by the Gabon National Party (GNP) from 2019 until 2021 when the newly formed New Monarchist Party and the Left Labour Party of Gabon gained multiple seats previously held by GNP and other smaller parties. Gabon's electoral system leaves less-established parties disadvantaged as similar parties tend to draw votes from one another and block candidates from receiving a seat in the Lord's Council. Previous major parties are People of Gabon Party and Shadowwyn with both parties holding representation on the Lord's Council through multiple governments.
