In a significant show of solidarity, traditional rulers in Cameroon have reaffirmed their full support for President Paul Biya’s candidacy in the upcoming 2025 presidential election.
This declaration was made on Monday, January 27, 2025, in Yaounde, following the election of the new President of the Executive Bureau of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Cameroon, H.M Guy Tsala Ndzomo.
The traditional rulers from all the ten regions of the country, gathered for an executive meeting in the presence of the Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji. During the meeting, they expressed their unwavering support for President Biya, citing his commitment to serving the country as a key factor in their decision.
Guy Tsala Ndzomo, the newly elected President of the Executive Bureau, stated that their support for President Biya is not new and serves as a testament to his dedication to the country. The Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji, expressed his gratitude to the traditional rulers for their support and promised to convey their motion of support to the Head of State.
This development comes as Cameroon prepares for the 2025 presidential election. President Biya, who has been in power for over four decades, has not yet announced whether he will seek re-election. However, with the support of traditional rulers and other key stakeholders, his candidacy is likely to be a significant factor in the upcoming election.
