If you want to know what’s happening with vice presidents on the continent, you’re in the right spot. This page pulls together fresh stories, breaking news and easy‑to‑read analysis so you can follow the people who sit just below the president. From policy moves to sudden resignations, we break it down without any jargon.
The vice president isn’t just a backup; they often run key ministries, represent the country abroad and step in during crises. In South Africa, the VP has been front‑and‑center on economic reform talks. In Kenya, the office is driving new digital initiatives. When a vice president changes sides or gets expelled from a party – like the recent SDP move against Nasir El‑Rufai – it can shift power balances overnight.
First, bookmark this tag page. Every time we publish an article that mentions a vice president, it shows up right here. Second, sign up for our daily email summary; you’ll get a short roundup each morning with links to the full pieces. Third, follow us on social media – we post quick updates when something big breaks, like a surprise resignation or a new policy launch.
Want to dig deeper? Look for analysis pieces that explain the political context behind a VP’s decision. For example, our article on Peter Obi’s meeting with President Tinubu touches on how finance chiefs can influence vice‑presidential agendas. Or read about the fallout from the SDP expulsion to see how internal party fights affect national leadership.
Keeping track of vice presidents helps you understand broader trends in African politics. When a VP pushes for free trade talks, as seen in recent discussions among China, Japan and South Korea, it can signal upcoming shifts in regional economics. When they’re involved in sports controversies or cultural events – think of the WAFCON injury saga that drew statements from government officials – it shows how politics and society intersect.
Finally, use our search bar to find specific names or countries. Whether you’re looking for Nigeria’s VP, Ghana’s deputy, or upcoming elections in Egypt, just type it in. The more you explore, the clearer the picture becomes of who’s shaping policy behind the scenes.
Stay curious, stay updated, and let us do the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters most – understanding Africa’s political landscape through the lens of its vice presidents.
