=== Political Culture ===
Line 306 ⟶ 308:
 
====Political Parties in Gabon====
 
The political landscape has been dominated by the Gabon National Party (GNP) since 2019. 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.
