Pierre Kotouo

Pierre Kotouo was a principal administrative assistant in the civil and financial services of Cameroon in 1952, and he remained a member until 1956. This marked the beginning of his political career, which continued in the Council of the Republic, where he was elected on 19 June 1955. As a senator, Pierre Kotouo served as the intermediary responsible for presenting to the French government the demands of his compatriots at a time when the decolonization movement was in full swing. He joined the “Overseas Independents – African Democratic Rally” group, which he left in June 1958 to form, with eight other senators, the “African Rally and Federalist Party” group chaired by Emile-Derlin Zinsou.^[2][3][4]
