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]
