~~Death~~ Appointment of Nama Remy to Cameroon Constitutional Council ~~President~~

Clément Atangana, the first president of Cameroon’s Constitutional Council, died in Paris at the age of 85 following a long illness. Atangana’s tenure was characterized by significant political influence, as the Council adjudicated electoral disputes during the 2018 and 2025 presidential elections. While government officials, such as Minister Grégoire Owona, honored him as a “great servant of the State,” his legacy remains a subject of debate. Critics, including lawyer Michelle Ndoki, have questioned the Council’s impartiality, alleging that Atangana’s leadership resulted in the rejection of opposition petitions and the validation of contested victories for Paul Biya. Following his death, Professor Paul Nchoji Nkwi ~~has been called to serve~~ served as interim president to maintain institutional continuity. ~~Under Cameroonian law,~~ Following the ~~President~~ return of Atangana’s remains to Yaoundé, where he was received with official honors at the ~~Republic will appoint~~ Nsimalen International Airport, a permanent ~~successor.~~ successor has been named. By presidential decree, Nama Remy has been appointed as the new president of the Constitutional Council.

Additionally, Abdoulaye Daouda has been appointed as a member of the Council. The specific dates for the swearing-in ceremonies have not yet been confirmed.
