The Cameroonian government has announced the postponement of parliamentary and municipal elections from 2025 to 2026, igniting a fierce debate.
Key opposition figureheads like Maurice Kamto would not be eligible to run for the presidency because his party has no Members of Parliament.
In this podcast, we contrast how postponing elections has affected citizens in Cameroon and Senegal, where popular protest forced President Macky Sall into a dramatic U-turn in early 2024.
Josey Mahachi speaks to Bassirou Diomaye Faye of Maurice Kamto’s MRC party, opposition lawyer Tamfu Richard, and DW’s West Africa correspondent Bram Posthumus.
