Title: The RDPC begins a mobilization tour with its activists in Cameroon
Introduction :
In Cameroon, the Democratic Rally of the Cameroonian People (RDPC), the ruling party led by President Paul Biya, recently launched a series of meetings with its activists as part of a mobilization tour across the country. This initiative, led by the secretary general of the RDPC, Jean Nkuété, aims to strengthen ties between the party and its base, as well as to measure the motivation of activists to support the candidacy of Paul Biya in the next presidential elections scheduled for 2025.
Remobilize the troops:
The CPDM mobilization tour has two major issues. First of all, it is a question of remobilizing the troops within the party. The last exchanges between the party leadership and its base date back to last year’s senatorial elections. It is therefore essential to reactivate the machine and ensure active participation of activists in the party’s activities.
Take the temperature of the activists:
In addition, this tour will allow Jean Nkuété to take the temperature of the activists and ensure their unwavering support for Paul Biya, who has led the country for more than 40 years. As the natural candidate of the CPDM, grassroots support is crucial for the success of his electoral campaign in 2025.
Towards a next CPDM congress?
Some observers believe that these consultations could also lay the foundations for a future CPDM congress. Indeed, it should be noted that the last congress dates back twelve years. This meeting would thus make it possible to address the question of the succession of Paul Biya, a subject which raises many questions within the party.
The CPDM ahead of the opposition:
According to Stéphane Akoa, researcher at the Paul Ango Ela Foundation, this mobilization tour allows the RDPC to get a head start on its main opposition rivals. Indeed, certain opposition parties, such as the Social Democratic Front (SDF) or the Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon (MRC), are currently experiencing internal difficulties or have boycotted the last elections, which weakens their political positioning.
Conclusion :
The CPDM mobilization tour in Cameroon offers a unique opportunity to strengthen ties between the party and its activist base. It also makes it possible to measure support for Paul Biya in the run-up to the next presidential elections in 2025. While the party is mobilizing ahead of this crucial deadline, the opposition seems to be encountering internal difficulties, which gives the CPDM a certain lead. policy.
