Léonide Mfoum has resigned from the National Union for Democracy and Progress (UNDP) in Cameroon, effective August 25, 2026, after twelve years of involvement. He attributes his departure to the party's lack of internal debate and its leaders' unwillingness to accept criticism or self-reflection. Mfoum condemns the leadership as incompetent, stating he refuses to be directed by "nuls," and compares the party to a seriously ill patient afflicted with "cancer" due to the absence of open discussion. He specifically points to the unsuccessful 2025 presidential election, where UNDP candidate Bello Bouba Maigari received only 2.45% of the vote, as evidence of the leadership’s failures. Mfoum criticizes the campaign director and asserts that no lessons were learned from the defeat, with the same individuals remaining in power. He leaves the party ahead of the 2027 municipal and legislative elections without revealing his future political direction.
