Cameroon: Binyam breaks his silence: “My name is not for sale”

Pierre Emmanuel Binyam, a former candidate for the presidency of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement (MRC), issued a statement on October 21, 2026. He denounced attempts to use his name and those of his running mates to settle scores with the party, saying he had authorized no one to speak on his behalf. Binyam stood by his withdrawal from the October 17 electoral process, a month after pulling his candidacy, and urged party members to remain vigilant against manipulation. His statement came a week after Tiriane Noah was elected.
