Akere Muna invites Commonwealth to oversee presidential elections in Cameroon

Akere Muna, candidate for the 2018 presidential election, has affirmed that the greatest help Cameroon expects from the Commonwealth of Nations is a genuine supervision of elections in the country.

He made the statement following his encounter with the secretary general of the organization who is on a visit to Cameroon.

“I think the biggest support the Commonwealth can give now is through the electoral process; making sure that every voice is heard and counted. The Commonwealth can help the process by bringing observers who make the electoral commission feel protected and make Cameroonians come out to vote in all confidence," he has said.

This comes at a time when the Anglophone crisis is visibly one, if not, the toughest challenges Cameroon is facing.
