"Clément Atangana was a perfect servant of the State...a great loss for Cameroon" : Auréole Tchoumi's tribute to the late President of the Constitutional Council

Auréole Tchoumi paid tribute to Clément Atangana, the first president of the Constitutional Council, describing him as a dedicated high-ranking official with 57 years of judicial service. He emphasized Atangana's deep understanding of Cameroon’s judicial and electoral processes, which led to his appointment in 2018 to ensure electoral transparency. Atangana died on October 4, 2026, at the American Hospital in Paris after months of illness, and his death is seen as a significant loss for Cameroon, with mixed opinions about his role. Tchoumi highlighted his extensive experience and knowledge as a valuable asset to the country's institutions.
