A recount of Gabon's presidential election results would be wise, France's prime minister said Tuesday, adding that "the electoral process should be clear" amid fraud allegations, fiery protests and at least three deaths. Top opposition candidate Jean Ping has declared he is the rightful winner of last month's vote. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls told RTL radio that European observers have criticized the vote. Countries including the U.S. and France have called on Gabon's government to publish results by individual polling stations. "Our priority is the safety of the 15,000 French nationals who live and work in Gabon," Valls said.
