THE REGIONAL ELECTIONS AND WHY YOU MUST RESIST,
November 30 Is About Perpetuating the Power of the Biya Regime.
On Sunday, November 30, 2025, Cameroon will hold regional elections.
There will be no polling station for you. No ballot with your name. Because in these elections—that will determine who controls your schools and hospitals and roads—you are not allowed to vote.
That is the plan. And this is why Sunday must be a day of resistance.
THE PROMISE THEY MADE
Let us go back to 1996.
Cameroon had just survived the political earthquake of the early 1990s. The ghost towns. The marches. The tear gas. The bodies in the streets. The people demanded federalism—the right of regions to govern themselves.
Biya’s answer came in the 1996 Constitution. A new promise: decentralization. Regional councils with real power. Finally, the regions would have a voice.
The people waited for the regional elections. Twenty-four years passed. Then, in December 2020, they finally delivered: A system where Cameroonians cannot vote.
THE TRAP BEHIND THE PROMISE
In regional elections, ordinary citizens have no ballot. None. Only 24,000 hand-picked municipal councillors and traditional chiefs—most of them regime loyalists—select the 900 regional councillors. A private club choosing itself.
But it gets worse.
The regional councils have no real power. The governor—appointed by Biya, answerable only to Biya—runs everything. The elected council president presides over meetings. The appointed governor rules.
The president can dissolve any regional council, anytime, for any reason.
And the money? Every franc flows from Yaoundé. Regions have no independent revenue. Displease the regime, and they turn off the tap.
This is not decentralization. This is centralization wearing a mask. 24 years! They were building a trap.
THE REAL PURPOSE: CONTROL THE SENATE, CONTROL SUCCESSION
Regional councillors help elect 70 of 100 senators. The other 30 are appointed directly by Biya.
Control the regional councils, control the Senate. Control the Senate, control the Constitution. Control the constitution, control what happens when the 93-year-old president is gone.
This is why they rushed to hold regional elections in December 2020—even as the Anglophone regions burned.
This is why they insist on November 30, 2025—barely seven weeks after stealing a presidential election and killing those who protested.
The blood is still wet. They don’t care. They need to secure the next layer of control.
November 30 is not about your schools or hospitals.
It is about succession.
OCTOBER 12 AND NOVEMBER 30: THE SAME CRIME
Seven weeks ago, millions voted. Tchiroma won. The people chose change.
The Constitutional Council announced Biya won—with 86% in the Northwest, a region they’ve been bombing for eight years.
You took to the streets. They answered with bullets. Scores dead. Thousands in cells.
And now they stage another election. Same ELECAM. Same Constitutional Council. Same regime.
November 30 is the second act of October 12’s crime.
To participate is to say: We accept what you did. We forgive the bullets.
WHY GHOST TOWN? WHY RESISTANCE?
You cannot vote on Sunday. The system was designed to exclude you.
But you are not powerless.
Ghost Town works. When businesses close, when markets empty, when the economy suffers —the regime feels it. The barons who fund the CPDM feel it. Money is the only language they understand. Speak it.
Ghost Town on November 30 -Dec 2 sends a message: We reject this system.
Hold the electoral college accountable. The councillors and chiefs who vote on Sunday live in your communities. They are your neighbours. Look them in the eye. Ask them: Will you legitimize this regime while our dead are still being buried?
Document everything. Who participates. Build the record.
Protect each other. Share information. Support those who are targeted. Our strength is our unity.
THE FUTURE THEY FEAR
The regime is not as strong as it claims to be.
October 12 proved Cameroon wants change—so desperately that millions voted despite decades of stolen elections. The regime’s response—fraud, then bullets, then rushed elections—reveals weakness, not strength.
A confident regime does not need to steal. A secure regime does not deploy soldiers against its own cities.
Biya is 93. The system he built is crumbling. The men around him are scrambling to secure their positions.
They are afraid of you.
SUNDAY IS YOURS
On November 30, you will not vote in regional elections. The system made sure of that. You are not a voter. A select group votes – regime councillors vote for regime candidates while the country watches in contempt. The nation has stopped believing.
Your vote was cast on October 12. That choice still stands. That future is still yours to claim.
November 30 is not your election. It is a day of resistance. Make it count.
