On 6 November 2026, the Republic of Cameroon marked the 44th anniversary of President Paul Biya’s accession to the presidency. The celebration was attended by party officials and supporters of the ruling Rassemblement Démocratique du Peuple Camerounais (RDPC).
During the event, the secretary‑general of the RDPC’s central committee announced that the party would mobilise its cadres in preparation for the forthcoming national elections. The statement was made in the context of the party’s ongoing campaign to maintain its political dominance.
President Biya, who first assumed office in 1982, has overseen a long period of political stability in Cameroon. His 44‑year tenure has made him one of the continent’s most enduring leaders.
While the ceremony itself focused on commemorating Biya’s time in office, the party’s call to mobilise its members signals a renewed push to secure electoral support ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Observers note that the RDPC’s mobilisation efforts reflect the party’s strategy to consolidate its influence across the country as the next elections approach.
