00:00Cameroonian President Paul Beyer signed into law a bill reinstating the position of the Vice President,
00:06marking a major constitutional shift in the Central African nation.
00:09The move follows a parliamentary vote earlier this month to bring back the role which had been abolished in 1984
00:16during a constitutional reform that replaced it with the office of the Prime Minister.
00:21Under the new law, the Vice President will be appointed directly by the head of state
00:26and will assume presidential duties in the event of a vacancy,
00:29a key change aimed at clarifying succession at the highest level of government.
00:34Lawmakers say the reform signals a return to dual-executive system
00:38designed to strengthen political stability and avoid uncertainty during transitions of power.
00:45The development comes as President Paul Beyer, one of Africa's longest-serving leaders,
00:49continues to dominate the country's political landscape.
00:52Attention is now turning to who will be named as Cameron's first Vice President in more than four decades,
00:58a decision that could shape the country's political future.
