Cameroonian President Paul Biya
Cameroonian President Paul Biya has signed into law a bill to reintroduce the post of vice president in the central African nation.
The country’s parliament voted to reinstate the position more than a week ago.
According to the new law, the vice president would be appointed by the president and would take over as head of state in the event of a presidential vacancy.
The nation now awaits Biya’s appointment of its first vice president in over 40 years.
Cameroon abolished the post in 1984 during a constitutional revision, replacing it with the office of prime minister.
According to lawmakers, its reintroduction signals a return to a dual executive structure aiming to solve succession issues at the highest level of the state. (Xinhua/NAN)
