SDF Militants Braze Up to Vote Presidential Candidate

The Social Democratic Front party (SDF) is set to determine its candidate for this year’s presidential election.

As of now, no candidate has shown interest in competing, apart from the current national chairman and Member of Parliament, Hon Joshua Osih.

The National Advisory Council will soon publish the list of candidates who wish to represent the party at the October elections.

So far, the environment at the multi-purpose sport complex in Yaounde is bustling, with SDF members, militants and sympathisers having turned out massively.

Reals business is yet to begin, but many militants have told MMI their candidate is Hon Osih.

Jean Baptist, delegate from the West Region, and the former MP for Bafut and, Tubah Fusi Naamukong, were unanimous on Osih as their choice.

Despite the disparity in views of who should represent the party, the SDF as a whole has one common mission — winning the presidential elections schedule for October this year.

Politicians from different political parties have already declared their intentions to intentions to challenge long-serving President Paul Biya at the election, but no party, except the SDF, is holding primaries.

The ruling CPDM, which President Biya has been heading since its creation in 1985, has the 92-year-old as its “natural candidate”.
