SDF is set for all elections in 2018

-Convention billed for 22 February

The Social Democratic Front has described as unfounded rumors which made rounds that the party might boycott the 2018 municipal, legislative, senatorial and presidential elections.

                This amongst other things is what filtered from National Executive Committee meeting of the party on Saturday January 13, 2018 chaired Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi at his Ntarikon residence in Bamenda.

“The SDF is set and prepared for any eventuality as far as elections are concerned. The President of the Republic just said there will be elections this year. The electorate is not convened during end of year speeches but through a decree. So we are waiting for the electoral calendar and for him to convene the elections. If the electorate were to be convened today, we will be ready,” revealed Hon. Mbah Ndam, legal adviser of the party, who briefed journalists on behalf of NEC.

                He also announced that the SDF will be holding its convention from February 22 to 24, 2018 to restructure some key organs of the party before the 2018, legislative, senatorial and presidential elections.

                Quizzed on whether the meeting also had the Anglophone crisis on the agenda, Hon. Mbah Ndam, said that the SDF addresses the crisis on a daily basis.

                “It’s not an issue on the agenda now, the Anglophone issue is in existence and we are very preoccupied with it. It’s on a daily basis that the party talks about it”, the MP for the Momo Special Constituency revealed.

                Reacting on the arrest of Ambazonian leaders in Nigeria,he said the act perpetrated in Nigeria was abduction and that SDF  is yet to confirm their whereabouts and the people that abducted them.

“Why do I say so, because if they were arrested by the government of Nigeria, we will normally have an action by the Attorney General on repatriation or non-repatriation and it will become a matter for the Nigerian Court” observed the legal mind adding that the SDF is yet to know that really transpired.

                Hon. Mbah Ndam also revealed that the SDF is doing findings on the number of Cameroonian refugees in Nigeria where they will eventually visit them and make contributions to them in days ahead.
