He succeeded Ahidjo as head of state following the latter’s surprise resignation in 1982, and consolidated his power after a coup attempt by the presidential guard in 1983-1984. In the 1980s, he introduced political reforms under strong pressure, and thus accelerated the return to a multiparty system in the early 1990s. He won the 1992 presidential election with 40% of the vote and was re-elected by a large majority in 1997, 2004, 2011 and 2018.
