Twin Elections: CPDM Gets Victory Through Vote-buying, ELECAM Workers

 

By Basil Mbuye

The Municipal and Legislative elections of on Sunday, February 9, across the nation witnessed some irregularities in some polling centres, through which the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement, CPDM, reportedly rigged itself to victory.

Despite the low turnout in some polling stations, reports of irregularities were glaring.

When this reporter visited the polling centres at the Cameroon Opportunity and Industrialisation Centre, OIC, Buea, a member of the opposition Social Democratic Front, SDF, decried the fact that votes were being bought. The SDF representative said he had received a call from someone asking him to come to OIC to stop the irregularities.

Another SDF polling agent said he was approached by a polling agent of the CPDM to accept the sum of FCFA 10,000 for him to turn a blind eye on the irregularities and vote-buying. The SDF polling agent said he turned down the offer and started monitoring the CPDM polling agent who later approached ELECAM chairpersons.

It was also reported that the ruling CPDM party brought boys from Bakweri Town who voted, despite the fact that their names were not on the Electoral Register. The boys came and met the ELECAM chairperson who pretended that their names were on the Electoral Register and they all voted.

An SDF polling agent recounted how, when voting started at OIC around 8.45am, everything was going on well, until a former CPDM Parliamentarian showed up. To him, it was after the former CPDM MP left that he started noticing suspicious movements.

Hear him: “A CPDM agent who was in the same polling station with me proposed the sum of FCFA 10,000 to me so that I should turn a blind eye on their electoral malpractices. I told him I was ready, just to know what method he was about to use. Confident that I was with him, he told me that at the last hour of voting, they will put in ballot papers which they have put in envelopes inside the ballot boxes. I had to immediately inform a member of the SDF party for him to be alert and also to caution other SDF polling agents. When I was called outside, I indicated to the CPDM polling agent that our deal was exposed and I was cautioned. Knowing that our deal could not continue, he started approaching ELECAM chairpersons.”

However, some observers hold that the SDF inability to see that they have more than two agents per polling station facilitated the CPDM rigging machinery.

  6. The term “free spin” refers only to slot machines, as only they of all casino games have reels. Bonuses in the form of free spins of slot reels appeared thanks to the bonus function in the slot machines themselves. This function is one of the most popular, it is implemented by many providers of gaming software in the vast majority of slots. The mechanics of the function is that by knocking out a certain number of specified symbols, players can spin the reels of slots a number of times for free to get additional winnings without spending their money. Usually just once as part of a specific online casinos’ sign up process. Reload bonuses and other free spins offers can be claimed multiple times but no deposit ones will usually only be offered once. There’s no reason why a Canadian player can’t open a number of casino accounts with Canadian friendly sites in order to enjoy lots of no deposit bonuses however we would advise responsible gambling practices at all times. Have a look around for the best offers from reliable Canadian online casinos and claim those instead of creating multiple accounts at one website just to get more free spins no deposit bonuses!
