According to the CPDM's communications secretary, Paul Biya will find the time to officially announce his candidacy.The communication secretary of the ruling CPDM party, Professor Jacque Fame Ndongo has said in regards to the upcoming presidential elections in Cameroon that, President Paul Biya remains the lone candidate as the national chairman of the CPDM party. He was speaking in the early hours of February 28, 2018 to Radio France Internationale (RFI). We gathered that he analyzed the Anglophone crisis, the candidacy of Paul Biya as well as those of Osih Joshua and Akere Muna in the next presidential elections. According to Jacque Fame Ndongo, Paul Biya is the natural candidate of the party according to texts of the political party.“At the CPDM level, we have our basic texts that state that the CPDM national president is the candidate of this party in the presidential elections, so strong of that, we say that President Paul Biya remains the candidate given that he is the national president of the CPDM,” Fame Ndongo told Christophe Boisbouvier, RFI journalist.
He however maintained that he was not announcing the candidacy of President Paul Biya but simply relying on the texts of the party to support his statements on his candidacy. “We know that the CPDM national president is called Paul Biya so he will be a candidate,” Fame Ndongo stressed.According to the CPDM's communications secretary, Paul Biya does not emulate and that, that is why he did not declare his candidacy after those of Akere Muna and Osih Joshua. “Paul Biya will find the time he considers appropriate to announce his candidacy,” replied Jacques Fame Ndongo. According to him, the majority of Cameroonians do not adhere to the ideology of federalism advocated by the main opposition party, the Social Democratic Front (SDF). He believes that “the CPDM will have the majority of votes” in the next elections, and that Cameroon will continue with its unitary form but decentralized. It should be noted that there is an untold focus on the ruling CPDM party from political pundits after the National Chairman of the number one opposition party in Cameroon, Ni Jhon Fru Ndi, declined from contesting for the ticket to be SDF’s candidate in the upcoming presidential elections. There is also rising social angst amongst Cameroonians who want to know if the over 80 year old head of state will seek reelection in the anticipated presidential poll.
