MRC: Willy Mengue Challenges Tiriane Noah’s Election, Says Quorum Was Not Met

Willy Mengue, who was expelled from the MRC in June, is challenging the validity of the party’s 17 October 2026 electoral convention, which elected Tiriane Noah as president. Appearing on Times TV, he said 1,286 delegates voted, compared with 2,224 expected, and argued that the statutory quorum was not met. He said the rules required two-thirds of the regions to be represented and decisions to be adopted by a two-thirds majority of convention members present. The article notes that his figures alone do not establish an irregularity without reviewing the party statutes and the actual regional representation.
