Gabon's interior ministry has declared incumbent President Ali Bongo as the winner of the country's closely-fought presidential race.
Interior Minister Pacome Moubelet Boubeya said on Wednesday that Bongo had won 49.80 percent percent of the vote and rival candidate Jean Ping had won 48.23 percent.
Election commission members belonging to the opposition denounced the vote, which one commissioner for Ping's party, Paul Marie Gondjout, said was "stolen".
Catherine Soi, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in the capital Libreville, said Ping's camp has rejected the result.
"They say they will not accept this result at all," Soi said.
"Protests have started. Protests are expected to continue," she said, adding that what appeared to be clouds of tear gas and smoke could be seen over parts of the city.
"Jean Ping has been telling his supporters not to accept a vote that is not favourable to him.... He is telling his people to defend their vote, to defend their choice."
