Cabral Libii, president of the Cameroonian Party for National Reconciliation, announced on 8 November the formation of a coalition for the 2027 legislative and municipal elections. He is expected to present the political parties joining the alliance in the coming weeks, according to Journal du Cameroun.

Cabral Libii, president of the Cameroonian Party for National Reconciliation (PCRN), announced on 8 November the formation of a coalition of parties for the 2027 legislative and municipal elections in Cameroon. Named “Orange Wave 2027”, it is to bring together several parties around the PCRN, according to a publication by Cabral Libii reported by Journal du Cameroun.

The coalition’s name will appear on the ballot papers of the parties that are members of it. Cabral Libii plans to make public the list of the associated parties in the coming weeks and said discussions remain open until the final closure of the lists, according to Journal du Cameroun.

The name echoes the “Orange Wave” used by Cabral Libii during his campaign for the 2025 presidential election. The PCRN leader had also been a candidate in the 2018 presidential election, according to Journal du Cameroun.
