Cabral Libii warns of chaos in Cameroon post-Biya succession

Cabral Libii, a member of the National Assembly and leader of the PCRN party, has highlighted the increasing tensions within the political elite of Cameroon. He believes that the rivalries among political and administrative leaders could destabilize the country, particularly as the nation prepares for a future without President Paul Biya. Libii's comments come amid a backdrop of uncertainty regarding the succession process, which he fears could lead to chaos if not managed properly.lebledparle

In a recent video, Libii pointed out that the absence of a designated vice-president could exacerbate these tensions. He argues that the lack of a clear succession plan could result in a power vacuum, leading to potential conflicts among various factions vying for control. This situation is particularly concerning given the historical context of political instability in Cameroon, which has seen various crises over leadership transitions.lebledparle

Libii has been vocal about the necessity of appointing a vice-president, a position introduced in the constitutional revision of April 14, 2026. He argues that this role is crucial for ensuring a smooth transition of power and maintaining stability in the country. Without a vice-president, he warns that Cameroon could face an 'apocalyptic' scenario should Biya be unable to fulfill his duties.lebledparle

The PCRN leader's insistence on this issue reflects broader concerns among Cameroonians regarding governance and political continuity. As Biya, who has been in power since 1982, approaches the end of his tenure, the urgency for a clear succession plan becomes increasingly critical. Libii's advocacy for a vice-presidential role is seen as a step towards preventing potential unrest and ensuring a stable political environment.lebledparle +1
