Issa Tchiroma Bakary's Political Stance from Gambia
Issa Tchiroma Bakary, currently in Gambia, has sparked political discussions in Cameroon regarding his absence from the country. He has publicly rejected a three-month suspension of his party, the FSNC, while a legal expert clarified that no law mandates leaders to reside in Cameroon.

Political Context in Cameroon
The political landscape in Cameroon is currently tense, especially with the recent suspension of the Front for National Salvation of Cameroon (FSNC). Issa Tchiroma Bakary, a prominent opposition figure, is in Gambia, which has raised questions about his commitment to Cameroonian politics. His absence has led to debates about the legal obligations of political leaders regarding their residency.
Valère Bessala, a legal expert and leader of the Jouvence party, emphasized during a recent broadcast that there is no law requiring political leaders to reside in Cameroon. This statement was made in response to criticisms regarding Tchiroma's current location, suggesting that his presence abroad does not violate any legal standards.
Tchiroma's Response to Suspension
On November 2, 2026, Issa Tchiroma issued a statement from Banjul, rejecting the three-month suspension imposed on the FSNC by the Cameroonian government. He described the suspension as politically motivated and asserted his intention to continue his political activities despite the government's actions. Tchiroma's defiance highlights the ongoing struggle between opposition parties and the ruling government in Cameroon.
Tchiroma's refusal to participate in upcoming elections, as stated in his communiqué, indicates a significant stance against what he perceives as an unjust political environment. His actions and statements from abroad are likely to resonate with his supporters and may influence public opinion regarding the government's treatment of opposition parties.
