Henri Hogbe Nlend (born 23 December 1939) is a Cameroonian mathematician, university professor, former government minister and presidential candidate.
[2] Hogbe Nlend was a candidate in the presidential election held on 12 October 1997, which was boycotted by the major opposition parties, and placed second, although he received only 2.9% of the vote.
The winning candidate, incumbent President Paul Biya, appointed Nlend as Minister of Scientific and Technical Research after the election.
(Kodock claimed in a press conference that Mbock had insufficient support to move this new party forward as he lacked the 500 signatures required by law).
[4] In reality, the 1990 Law to constitute an entity for legalisation as a political party in Cameroon does not include this requirement.
