Cameroon’s Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji, has refused to validate the resolutions from the Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon (MRC) convention held in December 2025. This decision casts doubt on the reinstatement of Maurice Kamto as party president and exacerbates existing internal divisions within the MRC. The Minister cites a legal technicality—a lack of prior declaration for a public meeting as per the 1990 law regarding public gatherings—despite the convention being held virtually following a statute change. The refusal was communicated in a letter responding to a member, Thierry Joseph Okala Ebode, who is currently disputing his own exclusion from the party. While the official reason is legal, the lack of further explanation fuels speculation regarding the underlying motives. This invalidation undermines the legitimacy of the convention and any decisions made during it, potentially deepening the power struggles within the MRC. The situation unfolds as the justice system also addresses Okala Ebode’s challenge to his expulsion from the party.
