Significance
Bongo's victory was tarnished by widespread allegations of electoral fraud and subsequent human rights violations; both he and Ping have submitted evidence of abuses to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Impacts
With the inauguration receding from memory, it is increasingly unlikely that Ping's call for resistance will be heeded by his lieutenants.
Relationships with key foreign partners will normalise.
Gabonese bonds will become more attractive to investors.
