Cameroon's parliament approves constitutional amendments creating vice president position for 93-year-old President Biya
Cameroon's parliament passed constitutional amendments creating a vice president position for the first time since 1972, with 200 lawmakers voting in favor, 18 against, and 4 abstaining. The changes allow President Paul Biya, 93, to appoint a deputy who would automatically complete his term if he dies or becomes incapacitated, rather than triggering immediate elections. Opposition parties criticized the amendments as hastily drafted and aimed at consolidating power.
