Jean Eyeghe Ndong (born February 12, 1946) has been the Prime Minister of Gabon since 20 January 2006. He is a member of the Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG).[1]
Eyeghe is a nephew of former president Léon M'ba.[1] As a PDG candidate, he won a seat in the National Assembly of Gabon from the second arrondissement of Libreville, the capital, in the 1996 parliamentary election. He was then appointed as Secretary of State for Finances in the government and therefore did not sit in the National Assembly until 1999, when he was excluded from the government of Prime Minister Jean-François Ntoutoume Emane.[2]
Eyeghe ran as the PDG candidate for the first seat from the second arrondissement of Libreville in the 2001 parliamentary election, but was defeated by Paul M'ba Abessole of the National Rally of Woodcutters (RNB).[1][2] In the 2002 local elections, he was elected as a municipal councilor, and he was subsequently elected as a Senator. He was appointed to Ntoutoume Emane's government as Deputy Minister in charge of Privatization under the Minister of Finance.[2]
He succeeded Ntoutoume Emane as Prime Minister on January 20 2006, one day after President Omar Bongo was sworn in for another term.[1][3]
Eyeghe and Abessole faced each other again in the December 2006 parliamentary election, this time with Eyeghe holding the position of Prime Minister and M'ba Abessole being a Deputy Prime Minister, and Eyeghe was victorious.[4] Eyeghe submitted the resignation of his government to Bongo on January 19, 2007; it is constitutionally required that the government resign after the results of parliamentary elections are announced by the Constitutional Court.[5] On January 24, Bongo asked Eyeghe to form a new government, and Eyeghe accepted;[6] the composition of the new government was announced on January 25, with few changes.[7]
