An interim head of state in Gabon will be sworn in today.

This comes after the constitutional court announced yesterday that the Senate President Rose Francine Rogombe, will take over following the death of Omar Bongo on Monday.

Then she'll have up to 45 days to organise elections.

With this, the opposition within the country and abroad will be gearing themselves up for the coming polls.

Curtis Mabicka is a Gabonese living in exile here in the UK, and belongs to the movement 'Bongo Doit Partir.

Peter Ndoro asked him what he made of the appointment of Ms Rogombe as interim head of State.
