...rard Jaquet, Minister for France Overseas, transferred Ramadier to another post, but gave M'bida no help at all. The Premier dejectedly flew back to the Cameroons' capital of Yaounde, where, realizing that he faced certain defeat in Parliament, he resigned. As successor, the French chose Amadou Ahidjo, 33, who had served as Vice Premier and Interior Minister in M'bida's government.
