Cameroon: Legislative and municipal elections scheduled for February 9, 2020

(Business in Cameroon) - In a decree published on 10 November 2019, Paul Biya, president of Cameroon, summoned the Cameroonian electorate for a double vote, on 9 February 2019, aimed at electing town councilors for the country's 360 municipalities and 180 deputies for the National Assembly.

These elections, which take place just over a year after the presidential elections of October 2018, have been postponed twice. Indeed, as authorized by law, in 2018 and June 2019, the Head of State extended the mandates of deputies and municipal councilors elected during the 2013 elections.

The February 2020 elections are being called in a context marked by the Anglophone crisis, which has led to the recent organization of a national dialogue. One of the main resolutions of this great dialogue is the establishment of stronger decentralization, meaning the transfer of greater responsibilities to local authorities.
