People's Voice (PV)
Greetings, MMI News Team.
Thank you for being the Voice of the Voiceless.
Greetings to all Cameroonians, we voted for ISSA TCHIROMA because we wanted change and believe in him. Concerning the recent lockdown called by the spokesperson of the president-elect, I think it is a strategic move, and we have to respect it if truly we want change.
Judging by the letter published by Gambia, we noticed that they are international mediators involved in the post-election crisis in Cameroon. Now it is all left to us, the citizens, to prove to those mediators that we voted for change and we want change.
HOW CAN WE DO IT?
1) By respecting the leader we trusted from the beginning and voted for.
2) By showing to any international mediator that we do not want this illegitimate regime occupying our country leadership.
3) we must start by respecting the 3-day lockdown because it is from the lockdown that the international mediators will know that we are ready for change and nothing can stop us as a nation.
ADVANTAGES OF RESPECTING THE LOCKDOWN.
1 ) A clear message to the Gambian government, which is galvanising countries to mediate for us.
2) A clear message to the international community that we are tired of the illegitimate regime.
3) A sign of respect to our president-elect.
4) crumbling this illegitimate regime by not going out to give them taxes to use against us.
DISADVANTAGES OF NOT RESPECTING THE LOCKDOWN.
1) A sign of weakness
2) If we don't respect the Lock down, the illegitimate regime will simply use it against us in the sense that they will say we voted for them and we are respecting them.
3) if we don't follow instructions from the president elect, it shows we are not in support of him and the international mediators will definitely come to the conclusion that we voted for the regime in place.
I am just a concerned Cameroonian who wants change as well as you do. Please, let's show the world that we indeed voted for change.
Our reactions to this lockdown will send a clear signal to those involved in mediating the situation in our beloved country.
Stay safe, and be guided.
I wish you all the best

The Chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Jim Risch, has described the reelection of 92-year-old Paul Biya as a “sham.”
In a post on X on Tuesday, he stated that the regime of Paul Biya staged the election that was held on October 12.
“The corrupt Biya regime in Cameroon hunts its political opponents, enables Wagner’s illicit activities, and has created conditions for jihadist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS to thrive and fuel the Anglophone crisis,” Senator Jim Risch said. “The regime has staged a sham re-election and unlawfully detained American citizens, including those from Idaho.”
According to him, Cameroon is not a U.S. partner and poses economic and security risks to the American people.
“It’s time to reassess this relationship before the blowback gets worse,” he added.
He is the latest and third U.S. representative to condemn the Cameroonian government for post-election violence.
On Tuesday, Reuters reported that 48 civilians have been killed since the unrest started after the October 12 polls.
Paul Biya, now the world's oldest leader, has ruled for 42 years and will be sworn in on Thursday, November 6. With this new term, he will have been in power for 43 years. If he completes this term, which expires in 2032, he will have ruled for 50 years and will be 99 years old.
Armand Noutack II: “The real actors of electoral fraud are often the most deprived”
In a statement published on social media, Armand Noutack II bitterly denounces the role played by citizens from modest backgrounds in the electoral fraud practices observed during elections in Cameroon.
The analyst laments that, in his view, “you will never, or rarely, see a ‘normal’ man collecting ballots to stuff ballot boxes,” insisting that such acts are most often carried out by “second-class citizens, the poor and struggling masses.”

BREAKING: Joshua Osih Says Election Trend Results Are True and Must Be Respected by Constitutional Council
The SDF presidential candidate, Joshua Osih, has conceded defeat in the just-ended presidential election, acknowledging that data and polling station reports reviewed by his party show “no ambiguity about the trends that emerged from the October 12, 2025 presidential election.”
He stated, “Even though the results have not been favourable to my candidacy, the people have spoken, and the verdict of the ballot box is clear. We accept this outcome in full respect of the sovereign will of the Cameroonian people and of the Republic.”
Trends from various polling stations across the country indicate that Issa Tchiroma Bakary is leading incumbent President Paul Biya. Tchiroma himself has already claimed victory based on results compiled by his party.
Osih says he will only congratulate the winner after the Constitutional Council announces the final result.
He urged the institution to act with rigor, fairness, and independence in addressing complaints of alleged electoral fraud.
“Pending the conclusion of this process, and in the republican spirit that has always guided our actions, I hope the Constitutional Council will proclaim the final results faithfully, as expressed by the people and without bias. Once that is done, I will call the winner to congratulate him and wish him success in his mission,” he said.
“My greatest wish is that this victory be placed at the service of the ordinary Cameroonian: the men and women who simply aspire to live with dignity, to work, to prosper, and to once again believe in their country. Because beyond parties and candidates, it is Cameroon that must emerge victorious from this election.”

Excerpts of Cameroon's 🇨🇲 opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary speech declaring himself winner of the presidential election.
Tells Paul Biya, "our victory is clear. The people have spoken. It must be respected."
" We have held the regime accountable: either it demonstrates its greatness by accepting the truth of the ballot box, or it chooses to plunge the country into a torment that will leave an indelible scar on the heart of our nation."
Fellow Cameroonians,
Today, it is with deep emotion and immense pride that I address you. Together, we made history.
I want to begin by saying thank you to the Cameroonian people. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for believing in us, thank you for believing in change. Thank you to all those who voted, and to all those who protected their votes. You are the true heroes of this victory.
I also thank the candidates who have already congratulated me and recognized the will of the people. Their gesture honors our democracy and marks the beginning of a new era where the unity of the opposition and civil society becomes an irresistible force.
My dear compatriots, our victory is clear. It must be respected. We have held the regime accountable: either it demonstrates its greatness by accepting the truth of the ballot box, or it chooses to plunge the country into a torment that will leave an indelible scar on the heart of our nation.
I want to say this with gravity and simplicity: the people have chosen. And this choice must be respected.
I call on all institutions, all administrative authorities, all leaders not to make themselves enemies of the people they are supposed to serve. The time for fear, manipulation, and miscalculation is over. The only side that matters today is Cameroon's.
To our defense and security forces, I pay tribute to your loyalty. I call on you to remain on the side of the Republic and of peace. Do not let anyone divert you from your sacred mission: to protect the people, not a government.
To the youth of Cameroon, I say: the future belongs to you.
To our teachers, our workers, our farmers, our soldiers, our journalists, and our diaspora, I say again: you stood firm, and you won.
This victory is not that of one man, nor that of a party. It is the victory of a people. It is the victory of Cameroon.
My dear compatriots, the whole world is watching us. History is watching us. Let us rise to this moment. We ask the current regime to demonstrate greatness and honor the truth of the ballot box with an expected gesture: this congratulatory phone call that will demonstrate the political maturity of our nation and the future strength of our democracy.
Today begins a new era.
Today begins the Cameroon of hope.
Long live Cameroon!
Long live the Republic!
Long live the sovereign People!"

“It’s almost a tradition in Cameroonian presidential elections for opposition candidates to declare victory,” said freelance journalist and researcher Thomas Van Linge, who covers democracy and human rights issues. “But Issa Tchiroma may be the first in years with a genuinely credible claim. The stage is being set for a major political crisis in Cameroon.” #MMINews #CameroonElection2025
After 35 days of silence, the streets of Bamenda, headquarters of Cameroon's North West region, are once again buzzing with the sound of pupils and students going to schools.
But behind today’s seemingly hopeful school resumption lies a deeper story, one of lost rights, fear, and a generation paying the price for a conflict beyond their control.
The separatist-imposed lockdown, which began on September 8, the official school resumption date in Cameroon, paralyzed most parts of the North West and South West regions for more than a month, and left schools shut, markets empty, and livelihoods destroyed.
The extended lockdown highlights one of the most persistent human rights violations in Cameroon’s conflict-hit Anglophone regions: the denial of children’s right to education.

Opposition leader and FSNC candidate, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, has declared himself the winner of the 2025 #Cameroon presidential election, urging incumbent Paul Biya to concede defeat. Tchiroma won in the Northern regions that used to determine Paul Biya's dominance in the past.
A NEW DAWN
The ballots have been cast. From the trends I am seeing, it is clear that the people of Cameroon have spoken with a voice that is clear, resounding, and undeniable.
In this historic moment, echoing the promise of 1992, our nation stands at the threshold of a new dawn. The collective will of the Cameroonian people has illuminated the path forward.
We now call upon all competent institutions of the Republic to honor their sacred duty. It is imperative that they immediately align with the people's mandate.
To the incumbent President, we address this with respect for his years of service: you now hold the power to bestow one final, historic gift upon the nation. Ensure that the will of the people is respected. The ultimate measure of your legacy will not be written solely by the years you governed, but by the grace and wisdom with which you heed the people’s voice. We urge you to heed the unequivocal voice of the people, accept the election results with dignity, and this also means you must be ready to cede power peacefully. Such a statesmanlike act would cement your place in history as a true patriot who prioritized national unity and democratic principles above all else.
My most fervent wish was for the opposition candidates to team up in answer to the call of the people. I am thankful that the people have succeeded.
To all other candidates in this election: we extend a heartfelt appeal. In the spirit of patriotism and for the sake of national cohesion, we urge you to unite in this call for calm, peace, and respect for the electoral verdict. Let us stand together, beyond political competition, to guide our nation forward peacefully.
This is a pivotal test of our democracy. The world is watching. Let us choose the path of peace, progress, and respect for the sovereign will of the people. May this new chapter be one of unity, prosperity, and renewed hope for all Cameroonians.
God bless the Republic of Cameroon.
