| Business tycoon Baba Danpullo alone contributed Fcfa 30m |
On Saturday August 11, North West elite met at the
Yaounde town hall under the chair of Prime Minister Philemon Yang who doubles
as North West Permanent Delegate for the CPDM Central Committee, and raised
circa FCFA 154,589,000 for their candidate’s presidential campaign.
This is
part of preparations within the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM)
ahead of the October 7 presidential election following the publication of
President Biya’s name by ELECAM on the list of retained candidates
North
West business tycoon Baba Danpullo contributed a whopping FCFA 30 million
support. Philemon Yang during the fund raising event said NW CPDM elite are
extraordinary people who do extraordinary things in extraordinary ways. He
equally stated that he is counting on their active participation when campaigns
are launched.
Though
campaigns are yet to be officially opened, the elite hold that they are setting
the necessary stages of the electoral process well ahead of time. Senator Chafah Isaac said they are raising
the funds in order to comfortably kick-start campaigns on September 22. It
emerged from the North West elite come together ground that meetings to
fine-tune campaign strategies in the region will be held in Bamenda in the
coming days.
According
to the Electoral Code in its Section 87 (1), the electoral campaign shall open
on the fifteenth day proceeding the election and close at midnight on the eve
of the election day. With the presidential election billed for October 7,
campaigns will therefore begin on September 22. It is therefore on this
backdrop that the CPDM North West elite are mobilizing funds in order to better
manage their campaigns once they are launched.
