NNPP refuses to backdate resignations after its letter to INEC

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) says it will not backdate the resignations of elected members who had not completed the process before its letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Founder and Board of Trustees Chairman Dr Boniface Aniebonam warned that falsifying records would be a criminal act. The party told INEC that Kano Governor Abba Yusuf, 18 members of the House of Representatives, 28 Kano State Assembly members and two senators elected on its platform in 2023 had not complied with its resignation requirements. The NNPP plans to update its letter to include elected members from Katsina and Jigawa whose resignation processes were also incomplete.

Côte d’Ivoire: Friedrich Naumann Foundation calls for women’s alliances in decision-making

In Abidjan on October 23, 2026, Alexandra Heldt, West Africa regional director of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, called for stronger trust networks and alliances among women to increase their influence over public decisions. Speaking at a networking luncheon during the second edition of the Women’s Political Forum, she said that presence in assemblies and political parties is not enough: women must take part in shaping public policy and making decisions. She put women’s share of seats in Côte d’Ivoire’s National Assembly at 13–14%, compared with about 41% in Senegal, nearly 30% in Mali and Guinea, and 32% in Germany’s Bundestag. Around 40 participants from five countries had attended workshops the previous day on women’s rights, legal remedies, political communication, artificial intelligence, disinformation, and online harassment.

Cameroon Vice-President Appointment: Paul Biya Fears His Own Succession, Political Analyst Says

Political analyst Stéphane Menounga believes the absence of a vice-president in Cameroon may reflect Paul Biya’s personal concerns about succession. He says the April 2026 constitutional reform gives the vice-president a role in determining whether the president is permanently unable to serve, and that Biya may fear an appointment could hasten that process. The post has remained vacant since its reintroduction in the Constitution, despite calls for an appointment. At 93, Biya retains the final decision over his future vice-president.
