SDF announces boycott of 2020 twin elections.
SDF announces boycott of 2020 twin elections.
The inability of the government to resolve the Anglophone crisis head on has pushed the Social Democratic Front, SDF, to adopt a more radical position. After resolving to boycott the November session of parliament, the second most representative party within state institutions has gone ahead to announce its intention not to participate in the legislative and municipal elections slated for 9 February 2020.
The move comes to confirm a stance earlier taken in Douala in August during a NEC meeting.
The party had said “…President Paul Biya declared war on the 30th of November 2017.A civil war that has brought about killings, displaced of persons, refugees and other ills. Therefore, it is incumbent on Mr Biya not only to bring the civil war to an end but also provide a definitive solution that will create an enabling environment for children to return to school and for elections to take place; failure to which SDF will be obliged to withhold its parliamentarians from attending November 2019 session”.
They then warned “If elections are convened and held under the present circumstances, the SDF will not participate and this will be tantamount to breaking the country into two”.
In a telephone interview with Mimi Mefo Info on Tuesday, SDF Communication Secretary, Denis Nkemlemo, maintained that their position to withdraw elective officials has not changed.
To Denis Nkemlemo “SDF has not issued any contrary release to the decision that was taken in Douala in August. So our position is obvious to everyone”.
Political commentators have argued that the position of the SDF to boycott next year’s municipal and legislative elections is not mainly for the interest of the people but fears to lose the election in the North West and South West which are the political stronghold of the party.
Reacting earlier to the convening of the electorate for 9 February 2002 for the legislative and municipal elections, Jean Michel Nintcheu, SDF MP for Wouri and Littoral Chairman, said the decision was suicidal. The MP said Paul Biya had just inflamed the Anglophone crisis by convening elections when the crisis had not been resolved
Describing the President of the Republic of Cameroon as ‘inconsistent and autistic’ in his actions, Michel Nintcheu averred that Biya would be held responsible for an explosion in Cameroon which according to him, would follow the November 10, 2019 presidential decree.
