Cameroon — MRC in Odza: The Day the Opposition Changes Its Face

The MRC is holding an extraordinary convention in Odza, Yaoundé, on October 17, 2026, to elect a successor to Maurice Kamto, who resigned on September 8. Interim president Tiriane Balbine Noah is the only candidate after Pierre Emmanuel Binyam withdrew. Delegates from several regions of Cameroon are gathering at the party headquarters amid both enthusiasm and tension. The convention will test whether the MRC can carry on after its founder’s departure without splitting.
