The number of vacancies in the Cameroon parliament have risen to 37, as MPs and senators have died while their mandates are yet to expire.

In the lower house, the National Assembly, 21 MPs have died since they were elected in 2020.

In the Senate, 16 have died since the elections of the third legislature in 2023.

However, despite their deaths, they can only be replaced during an election. The issue has raised concerns about the use of alternates, who cannot step in to complete the mandate in case of vacancies.

Each MP is elected into the Cameroon parliament alongside an alternate, but the alternate cannot perform the functions of the MP if the MP dies or resigns.

The lower house has 180 seats, while the upper house has 100 seats. So, of the 280 seats combined, only 243 have remained because of deaths.

MPs were supposed to have been elected, but two postponements have extended their mandates to December 20 this year.
