The SDF under popular pressure boycotts both Houses of Parliament

The news has fallen this day: The Social Democratic Front (SDF) slams the door of the National Assembly and the Senate until further notice. A joint decision made public by the press to a joint statement signed by the SDF parliamentary group chairman in the Senate Senator Jean Tsomelou and the SDF parliamentary group president in the National Assembly, Hon. Banadzem Joseph Lukong.

A historic boycott, far, very far from the bistuettes to which the party of Ni John Fru Ndi accustomed since a few years in the play of scenes that we often observe with the Democratic Rally of the Cameroonian People (RDPC). It seems that this time, it's cooked!

The party of May 26, 1990 made in its main home a record unpopularity in favor of new federalist and independence movements having succeeded where the SDF had failed since its creation: to pose the English Speaking Person problem.

Today the pressure from the grassroots is such that this decision is considered a measure in view of the demand militant rather for a formal withdrawal outright national representation.

They have been seen in recent days, visiting the private homes of MPs and Senators from the North West and South West regions to ask for their resignations.

"If it's your will, I will not go to the National Assembly anymore," the Honorable Joseph Wirba, Bui's deputy in the north-west of Jakiri, told the latest news that the virginal parliamentarian would not even have done so. displacement is to say the difficult situation in which the SDF parliamentarians bathe.

The SDF thus ceases all participation in both Houses of Parliament until appropriate measures are taken, including the inclusion of the Anglophone crisis in open debates in the respective agendas.

All that remains is to ask how far will the Social Democratic Front go and what will be the reaction of the other political components of the parliament, particularly the parties of the presidential majority and the opposition.
