It looks like Valentin Egono is a recently‑declared presidential candidate in Cameroon. According to multiple social media sources, on July 24–25, 2025, he formally submitted his candidacy (dossier) to ELECAM, the country’s electoral commission, in advance of the October 2025 presidential election .
Highlights:
Egono is identified as a Cameroonian presidential hopeful who entered the race by officially registering his campaign in late July 2025 .
Local observers and media noted the submission on both July 24 and July 25, 2025, and coverage appeared on platforms including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Threads, and Facebook .
As of now, detailed biographical or policy information about him isn’t widely available in mainstream media. All we know so far is that he’s a new contender entering the Cameroonian presidential race, likely positioning himself as a voice for civic engagement and youth empowerment (based on commentary tone, though not directly quoted).
For the upcoming presidential elections in Cameroon this October, the only candidacy making headlines is that of Mr. Valentin Egono, an independent candidate from the Cameroonian Union Party for Democracy and Innovation, who submitted his application on Monday, July 21, 2025, along with the required deposit of 30 million CFA francs.
Many Cameroonians are unhappy about this candidacy — not just because of his age, but more so because he was able to raise such a large amount for the deposit, yet couldn’t afford a decent suit.
