The Presidential Election in Cameroon Begins with Cautious Hope

Joshua Osih, a candidate for the Social Democratic Front (SDF), began his campaign in the unrest-plagued city of Bamenda despite a curfew enforced by separatists. He presented himself as the candidate most qualified to put an end to the security problem that has been plaguing the English-speaking regions for almost ten years. No other candidate knows the North-West and South-West better than I do,” Osih stated, pledging to emphasize peace from the first days of his term if elected.

Ateki Sexta Carson, one of the 11 contestants who have withdrew from the campaign to support Bello Bouba Maigari, joined him at a more subdued launch in the capital, Yaoundé. Maigari declared, “You see me today as a particularly happy candidate,” presenting a more cohesive and unified front.

“We have prepared President Bello to rise to the top of the Republic… he has taken power and will become the third President of Cameroon,” said Marie Jeanne Abega, one of his followers, expressing complete confidence. Additionally, the 89-year-old incumbent Paul Biya, the candidate of the ruling party, was not present when the campaign got underway.
