Another politician, this time female, has announced her candidacy for the upcoming presidential elections in Cameroon.
According to reports, Sandrine Kanmogne, president of the Party of Christian Democrats known in its French acronym as (PDCH), announced her candidacy April 9 in Douala. Besides the declaration of her candidacy, she also called for the amendment of the electoral code before the election is held. Before the press in Douala, she presented herself as that candidate that will create unimaginable change in Cameroon if voted to power. “My fight will be against the oppression of the poor, promoting moral, cultural and intellectual values,” she said.
The candidate who also believes in what she calls the “fight against the exploitation of man by man,” intends to encourage the establishment of strong institutions through the separation of state powers and free and transparent elections. She also used the opportunity to call on citizens to register massively on the electoral lists, in order to constitute a mass able to punish Paul Biya in the next presidential polls.
Born in Bandjoun (West region) in 1979, this computer scientist who works with the Bafoussam 1 council says she is invested with a divine mission in her quality of prophet since 2011, to “liberate Cameroon from the sects that have taken the management of the country hostage. However, her greatest interest in the upcoming elections is the modification of the electoral code. Among other issues, she wants the reduction of the voting age from 20 to 18.
She thus becomes the first female candidate in Cameroon to declare her intention to run for president in the upcoming presidential elections whose date is yet to be made known.
Recall that Edith Kabang Walla, the president of the Cameroon Peoples Party, who was one of the few female candidates in the 2011 presidential elections, has repeatedly insisted that her party wouldn’t partake in any elections if the Anglophone crisis is not solved.
