Hermann Yaméogo (born August 27, 1948) is a Burkinabé politician and leader of the National Union for Democracy and Development (UNDD).[1]
Although he decided to boycott the 13 November 2005 presidential elections a month prior to the poll, his name remained on the ballot. He was placed 11th out of 13 candidates, receiving 0.76% of the vote.
He was born in Koudougou, the son of Maurice Yaméogo, who was the country's first president.[2]
In July 2025, Hermann Yaméogo was abducted from his home by unidentified individuals after criticizing the actions of Ibrahim Traore's Burkinabe junta.[3]
