With just three months until Cameroon heads to t Camhe polls, presidential hopeful Me Akere Muna has outlined an ambitious five-point programme that he pledges to launch within the first 100 days of his presidency if elected in the October 2025 elections.
Running under the banner of the Univers party and backed by a coalition of opposition groups, the renowned international lawyer has declared his candidacy with a vision for what he calls a “new Republic of Cameroon.”
His immediate priorities focus on local development, diaspora inclusion, government accountability, national unity, and democratic renewal.
“As a first priority, I intend to implement an emergency programme for local development,” Muna said.
The plan involves a comprehensive assessment of all 360 municipalities in Cameroon to identify pressing needs in human and financial resources.
The goal is to address fundamental deficits in potable water access, primary healthcare, education, and road infrastructure.
Muna’s second priority focuses on addressing the challenges of multinationality.
“Measures will be taken from my very first day in office at the Unity Palace to facilitate the mobility of Cameroonians living abroad,” he stated, pledging to ease bureaucratic hurdles for the diaspora.
His third commitment involves a full-scale state audit.
“Public finances, state revenues, and national debt remain opaque,” Muna noted.
He argues that a transparent audit is critical to assess national resources and liabilities, initiate realistic economic reforms, and establish a stable development blueprint.
The fourth pillar of his programme is a call for enduring peace through a genuine and inclusive national dialogue.
This initiative, he says, will tackle the root causes of the security crisis in the North-West and South-West regions, while also addressing instability in other parts of the country.
Finally, Muna promises to bolster democracy and good governance.
“I will challenge the single-party legacy and the centralisation that defines our institutions today,” he said.
He aims to ensure separation of powers, empower civil society, and support private sector autonomy.
With his five-pronged agenda, Akere Muna positions himself as a reformist candidate ready to deliver sweeping changes and usher in a new era of transparency, inclusion, and development in Cameroon.
