💨 Abstract

On July 26, 2025, Cameroon's electoral commission disqualified Maurice Kamto, a key challenger, from the upcoming presidential election, raising concerns of unrest. Kamto, who previously came second to incumbent President Paul Biya in 2018, now has two days to appeal. Biya, 92, aims for reelection amid health rumors and ongoing crises, including a secessionist conflict. Security forces were deployed anticipating protests.
