Breaking — Presidential Election 2025: Early Results Show Issa Tchiroma Bakary Crushing Paul Biya Across Key Regions
YAOUNDÉ, Oct 13 — Cameroon Concord As vote counting continues late into the night, early figures obtained by Cameroon Concord confirm a nationwide surge for Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who now leads in several key regions, including the Far North, North, Adamawa, West, Littoral, and the Mfoundi Division.
Election data compiled from local polling stations and verified observer reports point to what analysts describe as an unprecedented rejection of the ruling CPDM and its 43-year-old leadership.

While Biya still leads in parts of the South, Tchiroma’s gains in Ebolowa are politically significant, suggesting the FSNC candidate has pierced a traditional CPDM stronghold.
Adamawa — École Publique de Mangoli (Vina Division)

West Region — Bandjoun, Bafoussam & Foumbot

- Foumbot (Tribune): Tchiroma 65 — Tomaïno Njoya 27
Across the West, Tchiroma has captured the imagination of younger voters and traditional elites alike, signaling a profound shift in political loyalties.
Diaspora Impact
Results from the diaspora mirror the domestic trend. Tchiroma has already won in China, Kenya, the UAE, Switzerland, and South Africa, while Biya secured narrower wins in a handful of locations including Russia. Analysts say the diaspora vote underscores a desire for generational change and reform, especially among professionals abroad.
National Outlook and Implications
If trends remain consistent as tallies arrive from remote districts, Cameroon could be on the verge of its first democratic transition in modern history. The political landscape, long dominated by the CPDM, now faces what one observer called “a tsunami of disillusionment turned into ballots.” Heightened security presence has been observed around counting centers in Garoua and Yaoundé.
Observer missions have urged transparency and restraint as the process enters its decisive phase.
What’s Next
Official results from ELECAM are expected within 48 hours, but opposition and civil society networks are already publishing independent tallies. Cameroonians at home and abroad now wait anxiously — watching history unfold in real time.
