🗳️ Breaking: Cameroon’s Presidential Election – October 12, 2025
Cameroon will vote for its next president on Sunday, October 12, 2025, with Elections Cameroon (ELECAM) officially affirming the date in July. The winner will serve a seven-year term.
A total of 83 candidates submitted their dossiers, but ELECAM validated only 13—notably excluding Maurice Kamto, the main opposition figure from the 2018 race, raising concern across Yaoundé and Douala.
👉 Among those certified to run are:
Paul Biya (RDPC) — age 92, in power since 1982, seeking an eighth term.
Bello Bouba Maigari (UNDP) — former insider turned challenger.
Issa Tchiroma Bakary (FSNC) — seasoned politician now in opposition.
Reformist figures like Akere Muna (Univers) and younger voices such as Cabral Libii (PCRN), Joshua Osih (SDF), Tomaïno Ndam Njoya (UDC), and Ateki Caxton (PAL).
The decision to bar Kamto without explanation has stirred fears of instability. The UN has warned of potential protests near ELECAM’s headquarters.

🔍 Why it matters:
Paul Biya has ruled for over four decades, and his candidacy is highly controversial given his advanced age—92—and health concerns.
ELECAM's exclusion of Kamto has raised questions over transparency and fairness in the electoral process.
Several prominent figures who once supported Biya are now rivals, signaling potential political shifts—but insider control remains strong.
