 Cameroon Constitutional Council Members Face Court Cases


The Cameroon Renaissance Movement (CRM) has filed a lawsuit against Justice Clement Atangana, President of the Constitutional Council, along with members Emmanuel Bonde and Adolphe Minkoa. According to CRM lawyers, the case has been submitted to the judge at the Yaoundé Court of First Instance in the Center Region.


The CRM accuses the Constitutional Council officials of overstepping their role, claiming they acted in favor of the ruling CPDM party, which they argue goes against the council's duty to remain neutral in political matters. The lawsuit lists several alleged violations, including infringing on legislative powers and disregarding the neutrality required by their positions.


The move comes after Justice Atangana reportedly joined a CPDM meeting endorsing President Paul Biya for the 2025 elections. It is also noted that Adolphe Minkoa serves on the Olympic Committee and Emmanuel Bonde holds a position in the CPDM’s political bureau. CRM lawyers, led by Barrister Hyppolite T. Meli, are pushing for adherence to Article 23 of Law 2004/0005, which outlines Constitutional Council members' conduct.


This isn’t the CRM's first attempt to challenge such actions; similar concerns raised after the 2018 election were dismissed by the council. Whether the current case will proceed through the lower courts remains to be seen.
