Home > Prime Minister of Cameroon

Under the current constitution of Cameroon, the Prime Minister of Cameroon is a relatively powerless executive. While the Prime Minister is officially appointed to be the head of government, the President retains most of the executive power and can fire the Prime Minister at will.

1 History

The position has existed in the eastern part of Cameroon it gained its independence from France in 1960. When the western part gained independence from the British in 1961, the two halves of the Cameroon federation maintained their autonomy and each had a separate Prime Minister. In 1972, Cameroon became a unitary state and the position of Prime Minister was temporarily unfilled. In 1975, Paul Biya was appointed Prime Minister for all of Cameroon. After his succession to the Presidency, Biya refused to appoint a Prime Minister from 1984 to 1991.
