Cameroonian political figure Issa Tchiroma Bakary has formally declared his candidacy for the 2025 presidential elections, issuing a compelling call for national unity and shared leadership in a letter addressed to the Cameroonian people.
The former Minister of Employment and Vocational Training emphasized that true governance must serve the collective good rather than individual ambition.
“A country cannot exist in the service of one man. It must live in the service of its people.
This is why I am proposing my candidacy for the presidency of the Republic, not as an individual ambition, but as an act of faith in Cameroon’s ability to recover and come together.
I believe in it because I believe in the virtues of shared hope,” Tchiroma wrote.
The leader of the Front for the National Salvation of Cameroon (FSNC) stressed that national renewal cannot be a solitary effort.
His message urged fellow citizens to embrace a united vision and reaffirmed his belief in Cameroon’s capacity to overcome its divisions.
“I am making a clear appeal: let us unite. Hand in hand, let us look together in a single direction: a united, just, supportive, peaceful, and fraternal Cameroon.
National unity is not a slogan: it is the condition of our survival and the lever of our development. It is not limited to the absence of conflict: it is based on an active and sincere commitment to a common destiny.”
He further pledged to defend the country’s territorial integrity and resist any attempts to sow discord.
Tchiroma’s letter underscored his commitment to inclusivity and the equitable representation of all regions within the Republic.
“I will be a firm guarantor of the unity and integrity of the country.
I will not give in to destabilization or division—wherever they come from. I want a Republic that recognizes the richness of its diversity.
A Republic that guarantees all its regions fair representation,” he declared.
Tchiroma’s statement adds momentum to Cameroon’s evolving political landscape, positioning him as a candidate focused on cohesion, equity and national purpose.
