The Cameroonian Parliament has been convened in Congress on Wednesday 11 November 2026 at 11 a.m. at the Palais des verres in Yaoundé to receive the oath of Rémy Nama, the new president of the Constitutional Council, and of Abdoullaye Daouda, a member of the institution. The convocation appears in an order from the bureau of the National Assembly signed by its president, Théodore Datouo, seen by Camer.be.
The ceremony seals the reshuffle of the Constitutional Council, deprived of its first president Clément Atangana, who died on 4 October 2026 in Paris, and of member Bah Oumarou Sanda, who died on 7 August 2026 in Yaoundé. By two decrees signed on 16 October 2026, President Paul Biya appointed Rémy Nama to the presidency of the institution and Abdoullaye Daouda as a member, twelve days after the seat became vacant.
Rémy Nama, a 69-year-old magistrate of the highest rank, is a former student of the National School of Administration and Magistracy, who served in the public prosecutor's offices of Bertoua and then Garoua before joining the Ministry of Justice; he then spent more than thirty years as a special adviser at the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic. Abdoullaye Daouda, until then special adviser to the president of the Senate, was designated by the president of the National Assembly, after consultation with the Bureau, in accordance with Article 51 of the Constitution, which reserves three of the Council's eleven seats for the lower house.
The appointment of Rémy Nama follows Paul Biya's decision to place him at the head of the Cameroonian Constitutional Council, announced on 18 October.
