Senatorial Elections in Cameroon: Nine political parties submit list of candidates

Nine political parties have already deposited their files for this election at the Head office of Elecam ( Elections Cameroon) and at their branch offices across the National territory. The parties that have indicated their readiness to participate in the Senatorial Election of the 25 of March, 2018 are as follows:

CPDM, FSNC, SDF, ANDP, UNDP, UPC, UDC,UDP and UMS.

Besides the SDF, a majority of the Political parties are affiliates of the CPDM. The MRC that has 50 municipal councillors out of 10600 that constitute the electoral college of the special electoral college, have requested for a boycott of the elections which they have termed as a sham. Logically the CPDM that has a large amount of the councillors who have rights to vote aren't complaining.

Taking into consideration the fact that the Senatorial Election is done to have only 70 senators as the remaining 30 are appointed by the President of the Republic.
