List of the October 9, 2011Presidental Candidats in the Cameroon

Are these men and women who will unleash hell on this central Africa state or bring about peace? It is full of grievances that have been ignored or swept under the carpets. Rulers here like to save at their food tables rosy oranges that are eaten thin by fungi and other parasites. You are expected to eat them, sing their praises and never ever complain or point out to them that their citrus trees are rotten right to the core. May be, the much talked about forthcoming election will bring about a positive change. It could if the party of the incumbent president does not manipulate votes or gerrymander so as to win. The prediction is that if it does, the citizens will not stomach it in silence. The spring of discontent in the Arab states may be a child's play. Will foreign beneficiaries step in as in Libya? Final list of 2011 Presidential candidates in Cameroon: Old wine in old bottles Posted September 10, 2011 Below is the full list of candidates who have been selected by Cameroon’s Electoral body ELECAM, for the October 9, 2011 presidential elections. A total of 52 postulants submitted their files and 21 were retained including incumbent Paul Biya, who has been in office since November 6, 1982. 31 postulants were rejected with reasons ranging from the none legalisation of copies of documents, late submission of files, fake receipts or non payment of payment of the FCFA 5 million caution among others. However, what is striking (old and at the same time new) is that the list consists of mainly old faces who have refused to quit the leadership of their political parties and have stood for every election either since their party was created or since they became leaders of their parties. This is one of the main reasons why several Cameroonians have refused to register and vote as various parties’ leadership have been taken hostage by its current leaders and their acolytes. Other reasons include the rigging machinery put in place by the government coupled with a very divided and visionless opposition. According to the Friday September 09, 2011 announcement made by the “erstwhile” CPDM diehard and president of ELECAM, Fonkam Azu’u, the candidates selected by ELECAM include; 1. Atangana Nsoe Simon Pierre, Grand Cameroun (GC) 2. Ayah Paul Abine, People’s Action Party (PAP) 3. Bilé Olivier Anicet, Union pour la Fraternité et la Prospérité (UFP) 4.

Feuzeu Isaac, Mouvement pour l’Emergence et le Réveil du Citoyen (MERCI) 9. Garga Haman Adji, Alliance pour la Démocratie et le Développement (ADD) 10. Hameni Bieuleu Victorin François, Union des Forces Démocratiques du Cameroun (UFDC) 11. Kamgang Hubert, Union des Populations Africaines (UPA) 12.

Walla Edith Kahbang, Cameroon People’s Party (CPP) A great proportion of the candidates cannot get votes beyond their biological families or ethnic group. However, what is striking is that the list consists of mainly old faces that have refused to quit the leadership of their political parties and have stood for every election either since their party was created or since they became leaders of their parties.

Other reasons include the rigging machinery put in place by the government coupled with a very divided and visionless opposition.

Momo Jean de Dieu of PADDEC (6) Dang Esther (7) Ben Muna AFP Conspicuous Absence. Bello Bouba Maigari of National Union for Democracy and Progress - NUDP ( Another eternal president of his party)- His party, NUDP has virtually merged with the ruling CPDM so that the eternal leader, Bello Bouba, can reap from his ministerial posts to the disgruntlement of most of his party comrades. Secondly the various factions of Union des population du Cameroun- UPC Augustine Frederick Kodock and UPC-Samuel Mackit are not on the list. The latter refused to take part in an election whose winner is already known in advanced, while the former is sick and has reportedly instructed his party collaborator to filed for no candidate other than him. He has equally been one of the eternal party leaders and presidential candidates.
