Cameroon - Babba: “Let’s Turn the Legislative Elections into a Referendum”

With legislative and municipal elections potentially only months away, though their timetable remains uncertain, civil society figure Abdouraman Hamadou Babba has proposed a ten-point plan to turn the legislative vote into a referendum against the regime. He considers a coalition of political parties impossible and instead advocates a different electoral strategy. Since the 12 October 2025 presidential election, Babba has maintained that the “People of Change” are a majority in Cameroon, but that claim has not translated into a parliamentary majority.
