Cameroon: Opposition condemns suspension of Issa Tchiroma’s party

Several opposition parties in Cameroon have condemned the three-month suspension of the National Salvation Front of Cameroon (FSNC), led by Issa Tchiroma Bakary. Territorial Administration Minister Paul Atanga Nji cited allegations of incitement to insurrection and serious public-order disturbances connected to the October 2025 presidential election. Tchiroma claimed victory over Paul Biya and urged supporters to mobilise; ensuing protests were suppressed, leaving several people dead, and Tchiroma now lives in exile in Gambia. The FSNC holds two parliamentary seats, and the suspension comes months before legislative and municipal elections scheduled for early 2027.
