Out of the 12 political parties validated to contest across the ten regions of the country, only the SDF and the CPDM will be contesting in the troubled English speaking North West and South west regions.
While the governing CPDM has fielded candidates in the two regions, the opposition SDF will only lock horns with the ruling party in the North West Region.
The CPDM list in the Northwest region has mostly new comers in the race with one pioneer senator of the region staging a come back.
Some of the new names include Former Secretary of state for Penitentiary administration, Ngafesson Emmanuel Bantar, Former member of Parliament for Widikum Enwe Francis Abi, Neba Ndosiri Brigitte, Fointama Hilda, Mbufung Carl Moses and Kobenge Sekedi Bomeh.

In the South West region, the CPDM is expected to win without campaigning as she faces no challenge from any other party.
