The Union of the Gabonese People ((フランス語:Union du Peuple Gabonais), UPG) is an opposition political party in Gabon. Officially registered in 1991, it was led by Pierre Mamboundou until his death in 2011. ==History== Mamboundou announced the party's foundation in Paris on 14 July 1989, during the single-party rule of the Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG). Mamboundou was the party's candidate in the 1998 presidential election. He placed second behind incumbent Omar Bongo, receiving 16.5% of the vote. In the December 2001 parliamentary election, the party won no seats in the National Assembly.〔''Political Parties of the World'' (6th edition, 2005), ed. Bogdan Szajkowski, page 241.〕 He ran again in the 27 November 2005 presidential election and finished second to Bongo, winning 13.6% of the vote. In the 17 December/24 December 2006 parliamentary election, the party won eight out of 120 seats in the National Assembly. The party is sometimes known as the Gabonese People's Union or Union of the People of Gabon. After Mamboundou's death in October 2011, the party suffered from factionalism. On 11 September 2015, President Ali Bongo Ondimba appointed Dieudonné Moukagni Iwangou, a hardline opposition leader and UPG faction leader, as Minister of State for Agriculture in an effort to incorporate the opposition into the government, but Iwangou refused to accept the position. Mathieu Mboumba Nziengui, another UPG faction leader, was instead appointed to the same post on 13 September.〔("Gabon president names new opposition figure to Cabinet" ), Reuters, 13 September 2015.〕〔Georges Dougueli, ("Gabon : un nouveau gouvernement en marche pour la présidentielle de 2016" ), ''Jeune Afrique'', 14 September 2015 .〕 The party immediately dismissed Nziengui from his post as Executive Secretary.〔("Mathieu Mboumba Nziengui destitué de son poste de secrétaire exécutif de l’UPG" ), Gaboneco, 14 September 2015 .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union of the Gabonese People」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
