For CPDM Militants in the Mefou and Akono South West Section in Akono, Paul Biya remains their unique choice for a Presidential candidate in upcoming elections.
They are unwavering and unapologetic counting their blessings with gratitude to Paul Biya. The militants came out massively in an unusual display of force to say their readiness to carry on with Paul Biya for another seven years. In a ceremony chaired by Daniel Hippolyte Bickoe, section President in the presence of Gaston Eloundou Essomba, Minister of Water and energy. The ceremony took place in the mythical hall of the Stoll College in Akono. Like one man, speaker after speaker took turns to share their views and reasons why they believe in their choice for 2025.
In the words of Gaston Eloundou, “Paul Biya is the natural candidate of Akono. Our common and major objective remains a greater mobilization of militants in preparation for an unmatched victory for our candidate Paul Biya”, he emphasized. From the creation of the CPDM, the Mefou and Akono section south west has knit a strong relationship with Paul Biya and the CPDM based on truth and love. According to Gaston Eloundou, “Akono has not failed Paul Biya these 40 years and vice versa. We will not fail now”.
Daniel Hippolyte Bickoe in his usual firmness, corroborated these views calling on militants from all thirteen sub -section to register massively. Their registration he said is their ticket to voting for the CPDM candidate.
The section president also condemned all forms of violence perpetrated on citizens in and out of the country. He particularly frowned at the none respect of government authorities and condemned all forms of attacks on them.
Bickoe pointed out the negative effects of social media on the youths, calling on them to invest their time responsibly. For all militant, focus was prescribed as a means to shun detractor.
Women constitute a force that cannot be overthrown in Akono. They came out from all 36 villages. Their leader Elian Ngono urged them to work together with their sub section presidents to mobilise and ready the grass root.
The Youths also are the strength of the party in Akono. Mvondo Marcelin, YCPDM president reassured the assembly that the cordial and methodical leadership they are privileged to get from the very dynamic section president Daniel Hippolyte has thought them to adopt such patriotic and civic responsibilities. “Youths in Akono have always given pre-eminence to CPDM’ s lists, and will still do so” he emphasized.
Ongba Bernard, Rector of the University of Soa described Paul Biya as “an important entity in the national and international context who has as major objective the emergence of Cameroon. In 40 years, he has kept the same passion”, the Rector said.
The authorities presented have thus prepared a calendar for the passage of Elecam teams in each of the thirteen subsections in the days ahead.
A motion of support to the Head of State, was read in conclusion of this event.

Our great number here today is for two reasons, to celebrate the person that embodies the ideals that are carried by the great CPDM party. That person is President Paul Biya.
