The Constitutional Council has completed its 11-member composition following the swearing-in of its new president, Remy Nama, and member Abdoulaye Daouda during the seventh parliamentary congress in Yaounde on Wednesday.

The ceremony, held at the Paul Biya Glass Palace, saw both appointees pledge to uphold the Constitution, maintain impartiality and protect the confidentiality of the Council’s deliberations.

Their installation fills the vacancies left by the deaths of former Council President Clement Atangana and member Bah Oumarou Sanda.

Speaking on behalf of the congress, National Assembly Vice President Theodore Datouo urged the new members to uphold the rule of law, protect democratic institutions and carry out their responsibilities with integrity.

The appointments come ahead of the February 7, 2027 legislative elections, which the Constitutional Council is expected to oversee and whose final results it will proclaim.
