Didjob Divungi Di Ndinge

As Vice-President of Gabon, Divungi Di Ndinge exercised presidential powers in an acting capacity from May 2009 to June 2009, while President Omar Bongo Ondimba was hospitalized.

An engineer by profession, specializing in electricity,[1][2] he began working at the Energy and Water Company of Gabon (SEEG) in 1972,[5] initially as assistant to the Technical Director.

[1][5] Divungi Di Ndinge then served in the government as Minister of Energy and Hydraulic Resources from 1981 to 1990;[5] he was a member of the ruling Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG) during that time.

[15] Following her death, it was announced on Gabonese television on 6 May 2009 that Bongo was "temporarily suspending his activities" as President in order to "regain strength and rest".

[20][21] This was believed to be part of Rogombé's apparent policy of preserving the political, ethnic, and regional balance of state institutions crafted by Bongo during her interim presidency.

[24][25] At a plenary session on 15 January 2010, ADERE decided to rejoin the Presidential Majority, which it had left in mid-2009, while expressing support for the reforms instituted by President Bongo since he took office.
