As Cameroon’s electoral campaign draws to a close, opposition leader Cabral Libii has made a final appeal to voters during a rally in central Yaoundé.
Addressing a large crowd, Libii delivered a message centred on political renewal, national unity, and civic mobilisation. He sharply criticised the 43-year rule of President Paul Biya’s regime, describing it as a period of “political suffering” for Cameroonians.
Libii urged citizens to vote in large numbers, closely monitor the polls, and safeguard voting records, particularly in stations with low turnout, to prevent electoral fraud. “This is the ballot that will create three million jobs in five years, build two million homes for Cameroonians, and reclaim our stolen wealth,” he told supporters, accusing multinational firm Glencore of depriving the country of millions through gas deals.
Positioning himself as the face of a new political generation, Libii described his campaign, dubbed the Orange Wave, as a credible alternative to what he called the entrenched “Biya system.” His message of renewal and youth empowerment resonated with the crowd, many of whom chanted slogans calling for change.
The rally marks one of the final major campaign events ahead of Cameroon’s highly anticipated election, as the opposition seeks to end decades of single-party dominance.
