Franck Biya to Become Cameroon’s Next Vice President, Fame Ndongo Breaks Silence on Vice Presidential Succession

Questions about who could occupy Cameroon’s proposed vice-presidential office have taken a new turn following comments by Professor Jacques Fame Ndongo, who has addressed growing speculation surrounding President Paul Biya’s eldest son, Franck Emmanuel Biya.

Speaking on the Sunday programme Actualité Hebdo, the Minister of State and RDPC Communications Secretary discussed whether Franck Biya could be considered for a future leadership position, particularly after his prominent presence during the recent official visit of Monaco’s Prince Albert II.

Fame Ndongo described Franck Biya as a citizen with the right to seek public office, adding that he possesses qualities such as intelligence, charisma, cultural knowledge and diplomatic skills. However, he made it clear that these attributes do not automatically make him the next vice president or successor to his father.

According to the minister, Cameroon’s political future depends on several factors, including God’s will, President Paul Biya’s personal decision and the choice of the electorate. He also pointed out that Franck Biya himself must decide whether he wants to enter the political arena.

Fame Ndongo equally dismissed suggestions that members of the ruling party were already preparing to occupy the vice-presidential position while President Paul Biya remains in power.
