March 12 Senatorial Elections: CPDM Voters Show Love For SDF, Vote Against Own Party


2nd Deputy  Mayor Of Bamenda City Council, Afung Lucas Ngu After Vote Counts In Mezam


By Raymond Dingana


The political ideology that has been in the market of political ideas put there by the Social Democratic Front, SDF has continued to act as a magnetic force pulling members of other political parties in Cameroon. 

This was seen during the voting exercise of the Senatorial Elections of March 12,2023 when the SDF got more than the number of votes that they were expecting.

With 28 councillors out of the more than 1000 Regional and Municipal councillors in the North West Region of Cameroon, many thought the party was going to have 28 votes or even less.

It however came to pass that some councillors of the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement, CPDM voted the SDF taking the number to 40 ballots cast for the SDF. 

This explains why the First Deputy Mayor of the Bamenda City Council, Afung Lucas Ngu says it was a great victory for the SDF,

The language is clear. The message is clear that a political  party is not the number of councillors or parliamenterians. It is the ideology that the party gives out to make the people accept that through this ideology, the country can develop. I was expecting  28 votes but i have had 35. This means that the SDF is in the hearts of the people even councillors of other political parties because they believe in the SDF,

Afung Lucas could be heard celebrating at the top of his voice after the results in Mezam were pasted on the board. 

"Those who thought they have burried the the SDF now have their eyes to cry," 

he added.

On his way home from his job side, little did he know death was right there waiting for him.  While driving towards the Travellers neighborhood in Bamenda, one of the boiling areas in the current war ravaging the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon Saturday evening, he was stopped by gun men who discharged bullets on him leaving him unresponsive even to the wailing of loved ones.  Who will take care of these children, who will be there for them when no one is there, who would they call Papa again , anyone with a hand in this will never know rest.
