Ali Bongo of Gabon does not have a body double, his spokesman said Thursday, brushing aside rumours that a lookalike has been standing in for the 60-year-old president since he suffered a stroke in October.
"There's no body double," Ike Ngouoni told a news conference, the first since Bongo fell ill. "The president is indeed there. He's the one on the job."
He said there was "no reason to be concerned" about Bongo's health, while noting that "adjustments have been made for the head of state, who has gone through an unusual time."
