History

Established in 1990,[1] the party nominated Jean-Pierre Lemboumba-Lepandou as its candidate for the 1993 presidential elections. He finished ninth in a field of thirteen candidates with 1.4% of the vote. In the 1997 local elections the PGCI won 14 seats.[2] In 2002 it joined the Presidential Majority, supporting the Gabonese Democratic Party.[3] It won one seat in the Senate in the 2003 elections, and went on to win two seats in the 2009 elections.[4]

The party nominated five candidates for the 2011 National Assembly elections,[5] winning one seat.[6] It was reduced to a single seat in the Senate in 2014 elections.[7]
