The Deputy Secretary General of the Movement for the Rebirth of Cameroon opens the ball for candidacies for the next elections.
Little by little, the trajectory of the Movement for the Rebirth of Cameroon (MRC) for the next legislative and municipal elections is taking shape. The doubts and uncertainties fueled by the party’s silence on the matter are beginning to dissipate. Pierre Emmanuel Binyam, a leader of the political formation, is the first activist to express his ambition to run for a seat in the National Assembly at the end of the 2026 legislative elections. The politician revealed on February 11, 2026, his intention to become a deputy of the XI legislature in Cameroon.

In a short message posted on social media on the occasion of his birthday, the deputy secretary of the political formation also indicated his choice of constituency. He will run under the MRC banner in the Wouri-est constituency. This is an area of the Wouri department comprising the districts of Douala III and Douala IV, where four deputy seats are to be filled, according to the delimitation and distribution of seats made by the Head of State in his decree of July 3, 2013. During the 10th legislature, which is ending soon, these seats are held by deputies from three political parties, including two for the Rdpc (Isaac Ngahane, who died on August 1, 2021, and Elise Ndongo Moutomé Epse Pokossi Ndoumbe), one for the PCRN (Nourane Moluh Hassana), and one for the SDF (Jean Michel Nintcheu, who defected from the said party).

Pierre Emmanuel Binyam’s announcement breaks the MRC’s dynamic of silence. Until recently, the party, through its Communication Secretary, told JDC that no one had yet declared their candidacy for the next legislative and municipal elections. At the same time, Joseph Emmanuel Ateba denied the news that Maurice Kamto would be running in the legislative elections in the Mfoundi department in Yaoundé. Henceforth, pending the officialization of candidacies by the party, public opinion knows the intention of the deputy secretary general, which begins to confirm that the MRC will go to the elections.
