MINAT-MRC: Has Maurice Kamto's Departure Changed the Situation?

The Yaoundé IV sub-prefect issued a receipt for the MRC's extraordinary convention on October 17, allowing the party to hold a meeting at its Odza headquarters to elect a new leadership, weeks after Maurice Kamto resigned from the party presidency. This administrative approval contrasts with previous bans, such as the one in November 2025, when the convention was prohibited by local authorities. The situation raises questions about the changing relationship between MINAT and the MRC since Kamto's departure, with comments from Arol Ketch on the implications for party conventions as long as Kamto is not a candidate.
