Cameroon: Christian Ntimbane Bomo warns of upheaval if a vice president is appointed

Christian Ntimbane Bomo, president of the HERITAGE group, argues that appointing a vice president in Cameroon could worsen identity-based tensions rather than ensure political stability. In a statement titled “Vice President: Beware of the Explosion!”, he criticizes leaving the choice solely to the head of state. He warns that a vice president expected to become the future president, appointed by decree without popular consultation, could be seen as an injustice by communities that feel excluded. In his view, stability also depends on citizens and the different parts of society accepting the choice.
