The Electoral Council of Elections Cameroon (ELECAM) is holding a high-profile ceremony today, 26 July 2025, at its headquarters in Yaoundé, to officially release the final list of approved candidates for the country’s upcoming presidential election, scheduled for 12 October 2025.
The event marks a pivotal moment in Cameroon’s political calendar, drawing widespread attention from both national and international observers.
The publication of the official candidates’ list is being broadcast live, underscoring the significance of transparency and public engagement in the electoral process.
The ceremony is being closely monitored by political parties, civil society organisations, and members of the diplomatic corps.
For many, the announcement will set the tone for the campaign season and provide a clearer picture of the political landscape ahead of the crucial vote.
ELECAM’s decision follows weeks of vetting, during which submitted candidacies were examined for compliance with legal and constitutional requirements.
While several names have been speculated upon in recent days, today’s publication puts an end to rumours and solidifies the field of contenders vying for Cameroon’s highest office.
With the nation’s political future at stake, the candidates confirmed today will soon embark on their respective campaigns, aiming to convince voters across the country of their vision and leadership capabilities.
The coming weeks are expected to be charged with debate, rallies, and voter mobilisation efforts.
As the official campaign period draws near, attention will remain focused on ELECAM, the Constitutional Council, and the ability of national institutions to ensure a free, fair, and peaceful electoral process.
