The position has existed in the eastern part of Cameroon it gained its independence from France in 1960. When the western part gained independence from the British in 1961, the two halves of the Cameroon federation maintained their autonomy and each had a separate Prime Minister. In 1972, Cameroon became a unitary state and the position of Prime Minister was temporarily unfilled. In 1975, Paul Biya was appointed Prime Minister for all of Cameroon. After his succession to the Presidency, Biya refused to appoint a Prime Minister from 1984 to 1991.
