    The main opposition party of Cameroon, the Social Democratic Front(SDF) opposes the appointment of members of Elections Cameroon (ELECAM) by the head of state Paul Biya.

    According to that party, all those members are members of Biya’s Cameroon People Democratic Movement (CPDM), although they all resigned from it at the request of president Paul Biya.

    For the SDF, these personalities would not be neutral in the organization of the elections in Cameroon because they have links with the ruling party. They will rather help the president Biya and his CPDM to win elections. The SDF leads campaigns in the country and even outside the country to put pressure on Paul Biya so that he changes the members of ELECAM.

    This report shows Elizabeth Tamadjong, the secretary general of the SDF. She is explaining that elections cannot take place in the country as long as they do not change the members of ELECAM. With 16 members of parliament on 180 that have the National Assembly, SDF is the first opposition party in Cameroon.
