Cameroon\u2019s presidential election is playing out like a high-stakes football match, except the pitch is national politics, the players are parties and candidates, and the referee with the final say was the Constitutional Council, acting as VAR.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match began with Issa Tchiroma Bakary\u2019s Coton\u2019s Corp (Cotonsport) pushing aggressively from the start, launching sharp attacks and hoping to score an upset against the seasoned powerhouse, President Paul Biya\u2019s CPDM (Real Madrid). The opposition fans have been on their feet, waving flags, singing chants, and predicting a possible shock.<\/p>\n

Biya\u2019s Real Madrid, confident in experience and control, maintained possession, countering with methodical passes and exploiting every opening. Only that Cotonsport have ceased possession around the box (results key divisions) and fired into the roof of the net and started celebrating even before VAR decision.\u00a0 Early attempts to insist its a goal by Cotonsport fans have been met with tight stiff resistance as Real players are all pointing at the VAR monitor pitch side, however the underdogs\u2019 determination made it clear they master the laws of the game and the goal must stand on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Just as Cotonsport supporters thought a decisive moment had arrived, VAR\u2014the Constitutional Council\u2014intervened. Originally, the \u201cgoal\u201d (the official results) was expected on Thursday. But the VAR added 72 hours of extra time<\/strong>, extending the announcement to Monday. Fans immediately took to social media, accusing VAR of bias. Its not the first time in La Liga or Champions League that you hear this right?<\/p>\n

\u201cVAR always works for Real Madrid,\u201d joked one Twitter user. \u201cCotonsport has played brilliantly, yet the decision is still pending.\u201d Opposition supporters expressed frustration, claiming the \u201creferee\u201d was not neutral and that every review seemed to favor Real Madrid. Funny because they seem not to realize even VAR technicians are Real Madrid employees expected to be neutral.<\/p>\n

The extra time feels endless. Citizens and political analysts alike watched each statement from the Constitutional Council as if it were a VAR replay\u2014slow-motion, scrutinized, and decisive. Every pause, every clarification, fueled debates about fairness, transparency, and trust. For Cotonsport fans, it is 72 hours of suspense; for Real Madrid supporters, a brief interlude before the presumed victory.<\/p>\n

In homes, cafes, and online forums, the public reacts like stadium fans watching extra time tick away. Some joke about early celebrations being premature, while others recommend that patience is necessary\u2014just as in football, a goal is only official once the referee signals.<\/p>\n

As Monday approaches, Cameroon waits for the final whistle. Will Cotonsport\u2019s persistent attacks pay off? Will Real Madrid\u2019s control hold? And how will VAR\u2014the Constitutional Council\u2014deliver its verdict? One thing is clear: in this match, the drama, suspense, and tension rival any football final, with citizens both players and spectators in a stadium of anticipation.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the true goal belongs to the people. Whichever team scores officially, the VAR decision must reflect the will of the citizens, ensuring that Cameroon emerges victorious in unity, peace, and stability. As one popular saying goes, \u201cElections are the pitch, fairness is the referee, justice is the goal, and peace is the trophy\u2014together they build a great nation, CAMEROON.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
