Tiriane Noah elected MRC president as UNDR holds political relaunch

In Cameroon, Tiriane Balbine Noah has been elected president of the Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun (MRC) following an extraordinary convention in Yaoundé. Succeeding Maurice Kamto, Noah secured 96.89% of the vote, receiving 1,246 votes out of 1,286 cast. The election followed the withdrawal of other candidates, including Pierre Emmanuel Binyam, who later called for party unity and cohesion despite previous tensions regarding the electoral process.

Simultaneously, in Chad, the Union Nationale pour le Développement et le Renouveau (UNDR) held its political relaunch in N’Djamena. Led by Secretary Executive Célestin Topona Mocnga, who has taken over the national presidency from Saleh Kebzabo, the party emphasized themes of political dialogue, social cohesion, and peace. The UNDR expressed its readiness to engage in national dialogue and addressed socio-economic concerns such as inflation and insecurity.

Additionally, the Centre Africain de la Paix (CAP) in Chad hosted the second edition of the Youth Salon, focusing on peace, innovation, and sustainable development to empower young people as actors in conflict prevention.
