The Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (French: Comité pour la transition et la restauration des institutions - CTRI) is 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]
General Brice Oligui, a former presidential supporter, helped implement the coup and was installed as interim president.[3]
