Kamto’s Circus:

A Critical Moment for Cameroon

As Cameroonians prepare for the presidential election on October 12, 2025, it is time to pause, reflect — and expose — the dangerous political acrobatics of Professor Maurice Kamto, a man who somersaults from one contradictory position to another, leaving behind nothing but confusion, opportunism, and betrayal.

A Trail of Flip-Flops

Let’s revisit Kamto’s long and embarrassing record:

• 2019: Declared that boycotting elections “has never paid off anywhere.”

• 2020: Boycotted the legislative and municipal elections anyway, weakening his own party for 2025, just to “send a message.”

• 2024: Announced he would run for president “at all costs,” despite his party’s lack of parliamentary presence.

• May 2025: Suddenly claimed, “We have elected officials!”

• July 2025: Gleefully announced his endorsement by MANIDEM while dismissing the fate of his own party as irrelevant.

In just a few years, Kamto has managed to advocate for and against boycotts, claim and disclaim loyalty to his party, and preach both unity and division — all with the same straight face.

This is not strategy. It is opportunism.

The Trust Deficit

Worse, Kamto’s contradictions reveal a deeper problem: he cannot be trusted.

After the 2018 presidential elections, he falsely claimed victory, knowingly misleading his supporters. That reckless lie fueled unrest, cost lives, and yet he never took responsibility. A leader who manipulates his own base with falsehoods is unfit to lead a nation.

Where Is the Vision?

Even more alarming is the gaping hole where his vision should be.

• Economic Policy: Where is his plan for creating jobs, fighting inflation, or growing the economy?

• Foreign Policy: Other than serving as Paris’ favorite son, he has no clear stance on sovereignty.

• Anglophone Crisis: Beyond vague platitudes, he offers no concrete solution to end this tragedy.

Instead, his campaign boils down to one tired slogan: “Paul Biya is too old.”

Ironically, Kamto himself is in the same age bracket — a fact he conveniently ignores.

A Servant of Neocolonial Interests

The truth is, Maurice Kamto has built his career on serving French and Western interests.

As Minister Delegate at the Ministry of Justice, he defended policies that enriched foreign corporations while harming local industries. In diplomatic circles, he is known as Paris’ golden boy — eager to auction Cameroon’s oil, timber, and minerals in exchange for approval.

Kamto personifies the neocolonialism he claims to fight.

A Warning to Cameroon’s Youth

Young Cameroonians, do not be deceived by polished rhetoric and foreign media hype. Look closer and ask:

• Where is his plan for our economy?

• What is his vision for sovereignty?

• How will he heal our divisions?

On October 12, 2025, stand firm. Do not let Cameroon be sold off to the highest bidder in the name of “change.”

A vote for Kamto is a vote for:

• The destruction of Cameroon’s sovereignty.

• The sale of our resources to France and its corporate allies.

• A deepening of national crises.

• Empty promises, lies, and endless political theatre.

Your Vote Is Your Power

This election is not merely about replacing one man with another. It is about protecting Cameroon’s future from predators — foreign and domestic.

Kamto has lied before. He cannot be trusted now. Do not mortgage your destiny to a man who treats the nation as his personal circus.

The world is watching. The stakes have never been higher.

Choose wisely. Choose Cameroon. Not Kamto.
