In a recent statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, Prof. Maurice Kamto, the President of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement (CRM), has urged his followers to actively participate in the electoral process by enrolling massively in the electoral register.
The CRM (MRC) leader emphatically stated that Cameroon will not witness any significant change if citizens do not take action.
“You must take action by translating your actions into your prayers. If you do not register to vote and vote, prayers will not register for you, will not vote for you,” Kamto said.
Kamto further referenced an adage that underscores the importance of self-help, stating, “And you will not achieve the change you desire so much. Help yourself, and heaven will help you.”
As Cameroon approaches the 2025 election year, Kamto is urging his supporters to take tangible steps towards bringing about change.
Despite his intentions to run for the presidency in 2025, concerns have been raised regarding the constitutionality of his candidacy. Critics point to an article in the electoral code that requires a party to have representation in parliament for its candidate to run for president. Currently, the CRM Party does not have representation in parliament and does not hold any positions in any council.
During the 2020 municipal and parliamentary elections, CRM chose to boycott, citing the ongoing anglophone crisis and advocating for changes in electoral laws. However, the desired changes have not been implemented as Kamto prepares for the 2025 elections.
In his bid to position himself as the leader of the yet-to-be-formed opposition coalition, Kamto is met with skepticism from other parties, including the Social Democratic Front and Cabral Libii. The dynamics of the opposition landscape remain uncertain as the political situation evolves.
The article highlights Prof. Kamto’s assertion that it will require more than just prayers to liberate Cameroon from its current challenges.
