Paul and Chantal Biya Celebrate 30th Wedding Anniversary Amid Political Tensions

The presidential couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in 2019 in an intimate setting at the Unity Palace, surrounded by family and colleagues. From their union, they have two children, Paul Junior Biya and Anastasie Brenda Biya Eyenga. Prior to marrying Chantal, Paul Biya, now 91 years old, had a son, Frank Biya, with his first wife, Jeanne-Irène Biya, who passed away in 1992.

However, this milestone anniversary comes at a tense political moment in Cameroon, with the looming prospect of the 2025 presidential election. There is speculation that Paul Biya may consider an 8th consecutive candidacy for the presidency, adding to the political significance of this anniversary.

Despite the political turbulence, the longevity of Paul and Chantal Biya's marriage, as well as their mutual commitment, has been praised by many observers. They are seen as an example of stability and marital success, navigating the challenges of both political and personal life with grace and resilience.

As they celebrate their 30th anniversary, their enduring love serves as a reminder of the power of commitment and partnership, even in the face of adversity.
