Brenda Biya, daughter of Cameroon’s president, Paul Biya, has publicly urged Cameroonians not to vote for her father in the October 2025 election.
In a TikTok live session, Brenda—known as “King Nasty”—blamed his father’s 43-year rule for poverty, unemployment, and stagnation in Cameroon. This marks the first time in African political history that a sitting president’s child has openly opposed their parent’s rule and actively discouraged voters from voting for their parent.
Paul Biya, 92, is one of the world’s longest-serving leaders. His presidency has been marked by allegations of authoritarianism, corruption, and contested elections. However, critics say that Brenda, who lives abroad in luxury, has had a strained relationship with her family, raising questions about whether her views reflect the realities faced by most Cameroonians.
