Lebialem legislative rerun: CDP throws weight behind CPDM.
The Cameroon Democratic Party (CDP) of Enow Benz Bate which at one point was accused of scheming to get the Lebialem seat has unexpectedly thrown its weight behind the CPDM candidate for the 22 March 2020 legislative rerun that held yesterday.
The National Chairman of CDP, Enow Benz Bate, publicly threw his party’s support for the CPDM in Lebialem on March 19, 2020 by urging electors and party sympathisers to cast their vote for the March 22 legislative election re-run in favour of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) list in the Lebialem Division, South West Region.
Going by the CDP Chairman, a vote in favour of the CPDM list will facilitate the return to peace in the division and subsequently the region.
“We have all seen what CPDM officials have been doing for the development of the division and the region. Despite the security challenges, these party officials still brave the odds to meet and comfort the population. It is wise to vote for a list whose candidates will guarantee the development of the community,” he stated, adding that the President’s development policy for the division will be quickly implemented should a candidate from his party be voted.
When questioned on his reason for supporting the CPDM, Enow Benz said politics is not an affair of enmity. “I am a flexible and realistic politician who puts the interest of the people first. I get into coalitions when need arises, all for the sake of advancing democracy and the livelihood of the population. Why should I not support the candidacy of a candidate in whom I see potentials? The concept of social cohesion spans through moments like this. This is political cohesion which will positively affect the lives of people,” he explained. Recounting his political knowledge of the CPDM, Enow Benz Bate who is equally spokesperson of the G20 Group (an alliance of 20 different political parties who support the ideologies of President Paul Biya), said the decision to support the CPDM list stems from the development policies of the National Chairperson of the party for the region.
The policies which include accelerating decentralization, improving road networks, infrastructural development and the provision of basic social amenities are in his opinion best as compared to those of other parties competing in the election re-run.
