The three-month ban on Issa Tchiroma Bakary's party, signed on 27 October 2026, remains in force with no public response from its leader and no word on whether it will be contested in court.
The former minister, who lives in exile in The Gambia, says he won the October 2025 presidential election and that two documentaries set out his allegations of fraud and of a security response to post-election protests.
The former presidential candidate says he will run in the Littoral region under his MP3 party, without naming the constituency or municipality.
Noah, the party's interim leader, was elected with 96.89 percent of the vote at a congress on 17 October 2026, succeeding Maurice Kamto, who has been named the party's candidate for the next presidential election.
Supporters of Maurice Kamto and Issa Tchiroma Bakary are arguing over a reported plan for the MRC and the FSNC to work together at the next legislative and municipal elections.
