Succession of Maurice Kamto at MRC: a candidate withdraws, Tiriane Noah emerges as favorite

On September 23, Brice Ronnic Djolako announced his withdrawal from the presidential race of the MRC, endorsing Tiriane Noah. Two lists remain competing in the election scheduled for October 17, 2026, with Noah as the frontrunner supported by figures like Mamadou Mota and Ludovic Lado. The party's extraordinary convention will select the new leader following Djolako's resignation, who has now aligned with the interim president. Noah's strong internal and external support increases her chances of winning.
