Cameroon debates return of vice president role: Video
Lawmakers in Cameroon have opened an extraordinary parliamentary session to debate a constitutional amendment that would reinstate the position of vice president, a role abolished in 1984.
The session, convened by Paul Biya, brings together members of both legislative chambers to consider the proposal. The draft would allow the president to appoint and dismiss a vice president, sparking debate over political succession. While some lawmakers say the process will reflect the will of the people, opposition figures have raised concerns about its potential impact on national unity and the balance of power.
