Brenda Biya Urges Cameroonians Not to Re-Elect Her Father, President Paul Biya
Brenda Biya, daughter of Cameroon’s President Paul Biya, has publicly urged Cameroonians not to vote for her father in the October 2025 election.
Speaking during a TikTok Live session, Brenda—known online as "King Nasty"—blamed her father's 43-year rule for poverty, unemployment, and national stagnation.
Paul Biya, 92, is one of the world’s longest-serving leaders and has faced decades of allegations of authoritarianism and corruption. Brenda’s comments mark the first time a sitting African president’s child has openly opposed their parent’s leadership.
Although her remarks have triggered off intense debate, critics note Brenda lives abroad in luxury and has had a strained relationship with her family, raising questions about her connection to everyday Cameroonian struggles.
