Sunday, May 5, Hon. Adolf Ngale Namme, Hon. Emilia Lifaka and Charles Mbella Moki, incumbent MPs for Buea Urban and Rural and incumbent Buea Mayor, respectively, picked victories at the primaries that held in Buea.

Both Ngale and Mbella Moki largely dominated their rivals.For Council elections, Mbella Moki humbled Dr. Amos Ngongi Namanga by 1.051 votes to 254. Ngale got 644 votes against 197 and 170 for Arthur Lysinge and Emmanuel Motomby respectively, who all contested the Parliamentary ticket for the Buea Urban constituency.

On her part, Emilia Lifaka barely sailed through after defeating five contenders for Buea Rural constituency.CPDM sources told "The Post" that Hon Lifaka, among the three winners, is certain to get another term since the rural part of Buea is a reserve domain for the CPDM.

CPDM Militants who spoke to "The Post" said the fight to maintain the Council and Buea Urban for the CPDM would be hot. Current Buea Mayor would stand against former Buea Mayor, John Mokake Endeley, who been tipped to represent the SDF list for the Council.

Also, outgoing MP for Buea Urban, Adolf Ngale, will meet stiff resistance from fire brand lawyer and SDF Buea District Chair, Barrister Eta Besong Junior, who has also been tipped to bear the SDF flag for Parliament.

Losers and Petitions

Dr. Ngongi had reportedly, on the eve of the elections, submitted an application requesting to have his name appear on Mbella Moki's list. He allegedly changed his mind later, after pressure from purported local party elites who are reportedly bent on seeing Mbella ousted.

At the start of the elections, Dr. Ngongi declared he was withdrawing. According to him, his rival, Mbella, had housed some electorates at his Bokwaongo residence prior to the day of voting. In spite of the complaint, voting went on in his absence.

An official told The Post that Dr. Ngongi had not formally withdrawn and that the Central Committee would have to decide whether or not to consider the petition. Local militants were of the opinion that Dr. Ngongi who had just returned to the country, after his long service at the United Nations, had done little ground works to gain the confidence of the people.

Reacting to the allegations, Mbella told "The Post" that they are politicking and that it would be mean for Dr. Ngongi to consider the electorate buyable. According to him, the electorate are mature and know what their choice is.

Also, Arthur Lysinge, who lost the CPDM Section President during the party's reorganisation recently, lost again in his bid to represent the party's list as MP for Buea Urban constituency.
Other Results
In Upper Banyang/Mamfe Central, Hon Rose Abunaw Makia won the Parliamentary ticket for the CPDM by beating a college Principal, Robert Bate-Epey by 1.271 against 1.192 votes. In Eyumojock, former Pamol GM, Chief Moses Besong Obenofunde overpowered incumbent MP, Peter Ayuk-Arrey, Dr. Ojong, Kumba District Medical Officer and Susan Okpu, former WCPDM Section President.

For the Council, Ayuk Taku Nchung defeated incumbent Mayor of Mamfe Council, Arrey Eyong Ashu. Also, Sabina Enow's list for Tinto Council beat that of Moses Tabe and Chief Agbor-Etchi Agbor-Ndakaw, current 1st Deputy Mayor of Tinto.

Meanwhile, former SDF Assistant Communication officer, Martin Nkemgu who crossed carpet and found solace in the CPDM, saw his hopes of getting into parliament dashed. Dr. Bernard Foju, incumbent MP for Fontem floored Nkemgu in a landslide victory.

Meanwhile, elections for Alo Councils were suspended because the incumbent Mayor, Pierre Marie Foram, allegedly stuffed ballot boxes. Gendarme officers were deployed to intervene and maintain security.

Mola Mbella Moki you are a man and a politician. You will rule again May God Bless you

It is somewhat embarassing that affluent people like Dr Namata Ngongi would leave thier international jobs and go for retirement to engage in Camerounese dirty politics of lies and deception. These are people we used to look up to as role models when we were growing up in Mutengene only for them to turn around and are humiliating themselves in the politics of lies and endless rhetorics of the CPDM and La Republique Francaise Du Cameroun. I will urge Dr Ngongi to re-evaluate his concience and take a very objective decision to try to stand for the truth that can NEVER be realised from the CPDM politics of lies.

At least Nkemgu is openly portraying that he was CPDM. He is not like most executives in the SDF who are CPDM at Night. We should laud Nkemgu for coming clean and publicly supporting his party (the CPDM).

Cheers.

So should you pal ,so should you.Come out plainly and campaign for your party the CPDM instead of playing SCNC(or is it SNP?) on the internet and CPDM at 'night'.We'll laud you for that.You'll shoot yourself in the leg in an attempt to kill our two darling 'birds' with one bullet.

Vito,

Honestly, i can never be CPDM even in my dreams. Only heaven knows what made you think i am CPDM at night.

[vito]

Ok buddy,granted you're CPDM day and night;why dont you just say so clearly and continue your campaign unpertubed?Please leave the SCNC alone;the SCNC should be far too big to even notice the SDF,but then no organisation stands to benefit from an SDF power takeover in Cameroun like or than the SCNC or what others would subtly call it 'the Southern Cameroons freedom movement'.Of course the government knows nothing ever withstood the SDF since its creation and with the SCNC pestering them,they decided to pit the SCNC against the SDF expecting the obvious;winning the elections and getting the SDF to destroy the SCNC and you sir are heading their internet front for your information.You should know but they assume you're available, brawny and braindead;what better weapon on this forum than one who has unlimitted time and access to the internet,doesnt think and rambles infinitely on whatever he's commanded to?Get this clear;you'll kill niether the SCNC nor the SDF and your brother will never be minister.Have a good evening.

Clashes over land kill five in northwest Cameroon

YAOUNDE, May 9 (Reuters) - Villagers armed with home-made guns, machetes and sticks killed five people and destroyed 60 homes in northwest Cameroon during days of clashes between rival communities over farm land, a local official said on Wednesday.

The villages of Oku and Mbessa have been locked in a battle over land rights for decades, but the latest violence came months after local authorities tried to establish a new boundary between them in a bid to end the conflict.

"The latest dispute started on Saturday when Oku people attacked the Mbessa people while they were doing community work, maintaining a road," an aide to the governor of the North-West province said, asking not to be named.

"All five people killed were from Oku. Security reports from the area say the confrontation was quite fierce and bloody."

Battles over land and natural resources, especially at the start of the farming season, are a regular feature of life in rural Cameroon, where many people are subsistence farmers.

Villagers in the North-West province burned down some 300 homes and forced thousands of people to flee a rival settlement in March.

Two years ago, angry villagers in the province beat their chief to death and burned his corpse after they accused him of selling farmland to wealthy cattle breeders. They then stoned to death the policeman who came to arrest the main suspect.
