On Friday 6 November 2026, Cameroon’s ruling party, the Rassemblement démocratique du peuple camerounais (RDPC), will commemorate the 44th anniversary of President Paul Biya’s accession to power, with festivities that the party says will centre on fidelity, mobilisation and serenity.
The RDPC has announced a programme of nationwide events, including rallies, cultural performances and speeches, intended to honour Biya’s long tenure and to reinforce party unity across the country.
Party officials have stressed that loyalty and peaceful mobilisation are the guiding themes of the celebrations, presenting the anniversary as a reaffirmation of the RDPC’s continuity and stability.
The commemoration arrives as Cameroon continues to address a range of political and socio‑economic challenges, and the emphasis on serenity reflects the party’s desire to project calm amid ongoing public debate.
Paul Biya has been president since 1982, making him one of Africa’s longest‑serving leaders; the 44‑year milestone offers the RDPC a prominent platform to reaffirm its dominance ahead of future electoral cycles.
