The leadership crisis that has rocked the SDF party in Konye subdivision for some time now might have been laid to rest, following the election and installation of a new team to pilot the affairs of the party in the Konye electoral district.

                The election on Sunday 28 January 2017 saw Barrister Ilambo Godlove Ebako, voted as the new Konye SDF District Chairman. He will be assisted by Motoumba John as the Secretary, Ameh Maurice Ngwa as the organizing secretary and Barrister Njoro as the legal adviser. 

                The election was supervised by Hon. Mbah Ndam and witnessed by the SW SDF Chairman, Forcha Ndobengang Martin and SDF MP for Kumba Urban, Hon. Mbanya Bolivie amongst other party kingpins and militants.

                Reacting on his election, Barrister Ilambo Godlove told reporters that he will do all in his power to butt out the CPDM from the Konye council. 

                “I am a bona fide Konye child and one of the elite of the Bakundu clan. I have come to take my people out of the CPDM bondage and what I know is that our party the SDF is going to stand tall in whatsoever democratic process that we participate in this year. By this I mean victory is ours,” Barr. Ilambo told militants.

                Quizzed if the SDF party has what it takes to oust a CDPM Mayor who has been hailed for development strides by the population, the politician cum legal luminary stated: “I don’t talk about other people, I talk about myself and what I can do because whatever the sitting Mayor has done, I will do it ten times,” Ilambo boasted, adding that the CPDM has always won the SDF in Konye with a very slim margin because of poor coordination and leadership problems. He promised that such political shyness and leadership squabbles will be a thing of the past under his reign.

                The new Konye SDF chairman said strategies to take over Konye council from the CPDM had since been laid down.

                “We had already reorganized the party here since over a year ago. We divided the Konye electoral district into three zones: the Northern zone starting from Nkumbe, Itoki, Mbu and Kokobuma, Wone, Dipenda, Koba and the rest under me; the central zone from Supe to Ikiliwindi under Barrister Njoro, and the Matoh zone under Dr. Ayuk Kelias,” Ilambo explained.

                Quizzed if he isn’t afraid to step on the toes of other Bakundu elites or consider himself as an outsider in the Bakundu Cultural and Development Union, BACDU, headed by a CPDM bigwig, the young, vibrant and energetic Ilambo noted that BACDA by virtue of its constitution is supposed to be apolitical. 

                With the poor management of the ongoing sociopolitical crisis in the Northwest and Southwest regions, political bookmakers say the CPDM may have a very difficult run in upcoming elections in this part of the country.
