Cavayé Yéguié Djibril (born c. 1940[1]) is a Cameroonian politician who has been the President of the National Assembly of Cameroon since 1992.

[3] He studied at the regional center for physical and sports education from 1960 to 1963 and subsequently worked as a teacher in Maroua.

He was then appointed as Interdepartmental Inspector of the Far North in 1965, and he entered the Legislative Assembly of East Cameroon[1] in April 1970;[4] he also became the traditional chief of the Mada[3] in 1971.

He served as Second Vice-President of the National Assembly for five years, departing the legislature at the end of the parliamentary term in 1988 and instead becoming Prefectoral Assistant of Diamaré.

[7] After Paul Biya was re-elected in the October 1997 presidential election amidst an opposition boycott, Cavayé said at the opening of a parliamentary session on 1 November 1997 that deputies should "respect the institutions of the Republic" and "be worthy representatives of the sovereign people", but the opposition deputies ignored his admonition and boycotted Biya's swearing-in ceremony on 3 November.

[9] Following the 2002 parliamentary election, the CPDM Political Bureau again selected Cavayé as the party's candidate for the post of President of the National Assembly.

However, another CPDM Deputy, Adama Modi, caused a stir by presenting himself as a candidate for the position, in opposition to Cavayé.

Party leaders asked Modi not to do so, but he insisted that he was within his rights and that he did not care about the consequences; ultimately he exited the chamber, refusing to participate in the vote.
