He remained in the government after the election and was promoted to the position of Minister of State in charge of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, and Rural Development on 28 January 1997.
[1] Following the December 2001 parliamentary election, in which Ondo Methogo was again elected to the National Assembly as a PDG candidate in Woleu-Ntem Province, he was moved to the position of Deputy Prime Minister for Urban and Regional Planning (Aménagement du territoire) on 27 January 2002.
[1][4] He held that post until being appointed as Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Relations with Parliament and the Coordination of Interministerial Commissions on 21 January 2006.
[7] Opposition leader Zacharie Myboto argued that the manner in which Ondo Methogo became President of the CNC—succeeding François Engogah Owono, who was appointed to the government—was unconstitutional.
In late May 2009, when Myboto raised the matter in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Jean Eyéghé Ndong suggested that he take his complaint to the Constitutional Court.
