President Paul Biya has concluded a decade-long overseas stay but has still not formed a new government or named a successor as vice president, leaving key political positions unfilled. The prolonged absence and delay in reshuffling leadership roles raise questions about the stability and direction of the country’s administration. With no immediate signs of a cabinet announcement, observers are watching closely for signs of political transition. The situation underscores uncertainty amid a leadership vacuum following an extended period abroad.


After 10 weeks abroad, Biya returned to Cameroon but has yet to appoint a new government or vice president.
