00:00Cameroon's National Assembly has a new president.
00:03Deputy Thaudeau D'Artour was elected Tuesday replacing Cavalier Yegier-Gibril,
00:08who held the post for 34 years since 1992.
00:13D'Artour, from the Western region, served as vice president until now.
00:17His elections follow a decision by the ruling RDPC Party's Central Committee,
00:24opening a new era at the helm of the country's lower house of parliament.

00:33has been a fixture of Cameroon's political landscape for decades.
00:38Activist Nkongko Felix Abbo called the election a test for the credibility,
00:43independence and real role of our parliament.
