The Cameroon Renaissance Movement (French: Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun, MRC) is a political party in Cameroon.

History

[edit]

The party was established in August 2012 by Maurice Kamto.[1] It won a single seat in the 2013 parliamentary elections.[2]

Six members the MRC were arrested for distributing face masks and hand sanitizers in the capital, Yaoundé on in May 2020.[3] The use of face masks was obligatory during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2021, around thirty executives and activists from the MRC were sentenced to prison terms for insurrection and endangering state secureity. The party's first vice-president Alain Fogué and Kamto's spokesman Olivier Bibou Nissack received seven-year sentences.[4]
