Disqualified from the race by the Constitutional Council, Maurice Kamto (MRC/APC) announced on September 26 that he would not support any of the 11 opposition candidates in the October 12, 2025 presidential election.
After failing to unite a coalition — notably with figures from the Far North — Kamto prefers to let his voters cast their ballots “according to their conscience.” This is a way to distance himself from internal rivalries and avoid lending his political weight to a competitor.
This choice allows him to preserve his status as the main opponent to Paul Biya and maintain a neutral, open position ahead of the post-Biya era.
However, it carries immediate risks: demobilization of his base and isolation from other leaders.
A calculated stance aimed at the post-Biya future, but one whose immediate cost could be heavy for the opposition.
