Maroua court suspends Robert Kona’s upcoming PCRN congress

The Maroua Court of First Instance has halted the upcoming congress of the Cameroon Party National Reconciliation (PCRN), which was convened by one of the party’s disputed leaders, Robert Kona, for May 25 and 26.

The court decision on Thursday explained that the organization of any new congress is subject to the final outcome of the pending case before the Court of First Instance of Kaélé.

The legal suit in Kaele was initiated by Robert Kona, who wants the court to nullify the resolutions of the ordinary congress of Guidiguis of May 11, 2019.

The 2019 resolutions gave Cabral Libii the right to function as Chairman of the PCRN.

Not only has he been the acting leader of the party for years now, Libii was also the PCRN’s candidate at the 2018 presidential elections where he came third out of nine candidates.

Kona and Libii, who both claim to be the rightful leaders of the PCRN, have been at logger heads for months now, dismissing each other from the party.

After securing the backing of the Ministry of Territorial Administration, Robert Kona, one of the founders of the party, succeeded in banning a congress convened by Libii in December 2023 in Kribi.

The act fired up the internal leadership strife, which has affected the party’s ability to participate in social life, including the National Day celebrations, where they were banned in several areas in the country.

While the PCRN leadership contest sees no definitive end at the moment, Robert Kona benefits from administrative protection.

He was, last month, recognized by Minister Atanga Nji as the rightful leader of the PCRN.

Political pundits see the Territorial Administration Minister’s intervention as an attempt to destabilize the opposition party ahead of next year’s Presidential and Legislative election.
