The term of office of the President of the Republic is seven years, renewable once, and the draft Constitution specifies that marriage is the union between two persons of different sexes. These last two provisions are intangible and therefore cannot be subject to revision.

Any Gabonese national with another nationality can stand, provided they have renounced it two years before the election.
