content: Information from researcher/donor Judith Knight. Gabonese Presidential Election T-shirt January 2006. The PDG (The Gabonese Democratic Party) was the sole legal party between 1968-1990. Headed by El Hadj Omar Bongo (1935-2010), President continuously since 1967 (1966 vice-president). This campaign t-shirt dates from the last Presidential election when Omar Bongo was voted in for life, before his death in 2010 (his son, Ali, succeeded him). Campaign T-shirts are widely distributed by the PDG, prior to elections. They are seen worn by Forest-Peoples in remote areas all over the country.
