Brenda Biya, daughter of Cameroon’s President Paul Biya, has publicly called on citizens not to vote for her father in the October 2025 election. In a TikTok live session, under her alias “King Nasty,” she criticized his 43-year leadership for causing poverty, unemployment, and stagnation.
This unprecedented move marks the first time in African political history that a sitting president’s child has openly opposed their parent’s rule and urged voters against them. Paul Biya, 92, one of the world’s longest-serving leaders, faces allegations of authoritarianism, corruption, and disputed elections.
Critics note that Brenda, living luxuriously abroad, has a strained family relationship, raising doubts about how well her views reflect the struggles of ordinary Cameroonians.
