CPDM's 41st Anniversary in Bafut: From Mud Roads to Bright Futures Under Biya's Watch

 Bafut erupted in jubilation on March 24, 2026, as the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) marked its 41st anniversary with a vibrant celebration that doubled as a showcase of local triumphs. Following the main event at the Bamenda Congress Hall, Section President Ngwakongoh Lawrence rallied residents of Mezam IV Bafut to embrace peace, unity, and development, the enduring pillars of President Paul Biya's visionary leadership.

Born on this very day in 1985 in Bamenda, the CPDM has evolved into Cameroon's powerhouse political force, Ngwakongoh declared to a cheering crowd. "This is not just about marking the party's birth," he said, his voice booming over the festive gathering. "It's a celebration of the peace and progress we've delivered under President Biya's guidance." Over four decades, the party has seized key government posts, steering national development with unwavering resolve.

In Bafut, the mood was electric, with locals touting tangible gains that have reshaped their subdivision. Ngwakongoh painted a vivid before-and-after picture: "We're celebrating peace and development right here in Bafut. Look around roads that were once impassable rivers of mud now pave smooth paths; water flows reliably into homes; electricity lights up our nights; and schools stand stronger, nurturing our children's dreams."

He didn't mince words on the CPDM's edge. In just six years of CPDM stewardship, Bafut has surged ahead farther than in the preceding decades under the Social Democratic Front (SDF), he asserted. "The evidence is in every upgraded classroom, every electrified village, and every kilometer of tarmac," Ngwakongoh added, urging non-members to jump aboard. "Join us. The CPDM is the sure path to sustained peace and prosperity in our subdivision."

The anniversary wasn't all revelry; it carried an urgent call to action. With elections looming, Ngwakongoh spotlighted voter registration as Bafut's next frontier. ELECAM officials are fanned out across the subdivision, ready to help, he noted. "If you're not on the electoral roll, go register today. It's your civic duty and your ticket to shaping Bafut's future." He promised personal support: "Face any hitch? Reach out to me or party officials—we're here to guide you every step."


Residents nodded in agreement, with many already queuing at registration points post-celebration. One attendee, local farmer Mbah Joseph, echoed the sentiment: "These developments have changed our lives. CPDM delivers, and voting ensures it continues."

As banners fluttered and songs praising Biya filled the air, the event underscored CPDM's deep roots in Mezam. From its Bamenda birthplace to Bafut's blooming infrastructure, the party's 41 years stand as a testament to resilience amid national challenges. Ngwakongoh wrapped up with a rallying cry: unity for tomorrow's gains.
