News Official statement Context piece
  • Departmental officials of Cameroon’s MRC in Europe reaffirmed their support for party leader Maurice Kamto, the directorate and National Council resolutions.
  • Their statement denounced what they described as political and judicial harassment of Kamto and the party.
  • The declaration focused heavily on Kamto’s exclusion from the October 2025 presidential race.

More than a year after Maurice Kamto was excluded from Cameroon’s October 12, 2025 presidential race, the Europe federation of his Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon has broken its silence.

In a two-page statement signed collectively and dated September 6, 2026, the MRC’s departmental secretaries in Europe reaffirmed their support for Kamto, whom they described as their elected national president. They also backed the party directorate and the resolutions adopted by the National Council on September 6, 2025.

The officials denounced what they called political and judicial harassment directed at both their leader and the party. Addressing Kamto, they wrote: “Our party, whose torch you have courageously and brilliantly carried since its creation, has always been subjected to acts of destabilization by the power in place and its proxies.”

The declaration returns at length to the 2025 exclusion and the invalidation of Kamto’s candidacy. The excerpt ends while discussing that decision, leaving the rest of the communiqué’s account unavailable.

Our party, whose torch you have courageously and brilliantly carried since its creation, has always been subjected to acts of destabilization by the power in place and its proxies.
