The Secretary General of the Central Committee Jean Nkuété has kicked off a working tour to oversee the installation of newly appointed Heads of Permanent Regional and Divisional Delegations across the country.
The Party is gearing up for crucial elections expected in October this year. This phase in its organizational restruc-
turing is aimed at bolstering the party’s grassroots presence ahead of the presidential elections. On April 22, Nkuété was in Bertoua in the East region, a strategic move given the recent emergence of dissident voices that have sparked divided opinions within the region. This visit is expected to reinforce party unity and ensure a cohesive ap- proach in the upcoming electoral process.
The tour, which will also take the Secretary General to Bafoussam on April 24, Ngaoundere on April 28, and Yaounde on April 30, demonstrates the party’s commitment to strengthening its structures and preparing for the challenges ahead. By empowering Heads of Permanent Regional Delegations to proceed with installations in their respective areas, the CPDM is fos- tering a sense of ownership and responsibility among its regional leaders.
This exercise is particularly pertinent as the country approaches the presidential elections. By rejuvenating its leadership and solidifying its regional presence, the CPDM is positioning itself for a strong showing at the polls. The party’s ability to maintain unity and project a cohesive message will be critical in the coming weeks. The CPDM recognizes that a well-organized and motivated base is essential for electoral success. Historical data shows that voter turnout is significantly influenced by local party activities, mak- ing this strategy particularly pertinent.
Moreover, the CPDM’s ability to adapt to changing political sentiments and maintain a connection with the electorate is no news. The party’s longstanding dominance has often been attributed to its extensive network of local delegates who play a crucial role in voter mobilization and education .
With the presidential elections on the horizon, the stakes are higher. than ever for the CPDM. The political landscape in Cameroon is increasingly competitive; this strategic decision therefore reflects a recog- nition of these challenges and an intention to pre-emptively address them.
