Brenda Biya, daughter of Cameroon’s long-serving president Paul Biya, has openly called on citizens not to vote for her father in the October 2025 presidential election.
Brenda, known online as “King N+sty,” made the appeal during a TikTok Live session, accusing the 92-year-old leader of dr+gging the country into p+v£rty, unemployment, and decades of stagnation.
Her comments mark the first time in African political history that the child of a sitting president has publicly opposed their parent’s rule.
Paul Biya, in power since 1982, is one of the world’s longest-serving heads of state. His government has long faced allegations of authoritarianism, corr¥ption, human rights ab¥ses, and disputed elections.
In July, Biya confirmed his bid for an eighth term in office, announcing his candidacy on X in both French and English. “I am a candidate for the 12 October 2025 presidential election,” he declared, assuring Cameroonians of his continued commitment to tackling national challenges.
In a formal statement titled Declaration of Candidacy for the 12 October 2025 Presidential Election by His Excellency Paul BIYA, the president said he remained devoted to safeguarding the nation’s security and well-being. He argued that mounting domestic and international challenges required his continued leadership.
“I cannot shirk my mission,” Biya stated. “I have therefore decided to heed the numerous and insistent calls from the ten regions of our country and from the diaspora. The best is still to come.”
