Gabon senate head to become interim leader Wednesday
LIBREVILLE, June 9 (Reuters) - Gabon's Senate President Rose Francine Rogombe will be sworn in as interim head of state on Wednesday following the death of veteran ruler Omar Bongo, the country's constitutional court said.
Bongo's death on Monday after more than four decades at the head of the central African oil-exporting nation left a power vacuum, raising concerns about how the transition would be handled. (Reporting by Linel Kwatsi; Writing by David Lewis)
