The Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (French: Comité pour la transition et la restauration des institutions, CTRI) was the ruling military junta of Gabon. It took power in the 2023 Gabonese coup d'état after annulling the 2023 Gabonese general election.
A dozen of its members declared in the early morning of 30 August that the regime of President Ali Bongo Ondimba had ended.[1] Among them were army colonels and members of the Republican Guard.[2]
Identified members
General Brice Oligui Nguema, a former presidential supporter, helped implement the coup and was installed as transitional president of Gabon.[3][4] After Nguema's victory in the 2025 Gabonese presidential election, the committee was dissolved.[5]
