“The full exercise of
executive power in the country requires a good majority in the National
Assembly and a hold on a good majority of councils”, Senator Musonge noted.
In 2011“the whole
country elected our candidate, H.E Paul Biya, National President of our Party,
with an overwhelming majority on the basis of his policy of “Major Accomplishments”,
he said, before insisting, “It is of prime importance that we give the
President of the Republic a comfortable in the National Assembly to enable him
implement his political agenda…The same holds true for the municipal election.”
He said the “success of
the ‘Major Accomplishments’ policy depends on the support of the grass-roots,
its ownership and enrichment in our city and town councils”, adding that the
councils need a good CPDM majorities to uphold the ideals of peace, unity and
progress at local level.
Senator Musonge noted
that the twin elections constitute an opportunity to consolidate the victory
achieved in the last Presidential election of October 2011.
Talking about CPDM
candidates, the Regional Campaign Leader described them as people who are driven
by the desire to serve Cameroon, to work in the public interest and to make a
decisive contribution to the happiness of all and sundry. “CPDM candidates are
people with a high sense of civic responsibility who reflect both the diversity
and unity of our dear and beautiful country,” Senator Musonge said.
He reminded the public
that in the twin elections 2007, the Southwest Region had 14 out of 15
parliamentary seats and 29 out of 31 councils.
CPDM Militants and sympathizers
were urged to collect their voter cards so that on Election Day, they will vote
right “by voting for the CPDM lists and candidates”
The Ex-premier warned
the public against letting their votes fall in the hands of the opposition,
which he described as wrong hands. “..Wrong hands can retard our progress
because of lack of experience and bad faith…We must vote right,” he emphasized
The launching was attended
by Southwest Governor Bernard Okalia Bilai and some senators of the Region
including Senator Charles Mbella Moki, who in his capacity as Buea CPDM president
had welcomed the Regional campaign leader and his delegation.
