Lukewarm preparation for Cameroon's presidential election.

With only months to go, Cameroonians are yet to see serious activity
pick up on the campaign trail.

Many of the established political parties are yet to launch their
platforms, and head out to meet voters.

What Cameroonians have been treated to so far has been one off events,
widely reported by the media (including on this blog) by lone
individuals.

Many of the heavyweights like Fru Ndi have been around long enough
with no tangible results to show, or have been discredited in the
public eye.

The upcoming presidential elections look like they might swallow all
minor political parties, making them part of a potpourri of a giant
national coalition, headed by the ruling CPDM.

So far, this promises to be the trend. Paul Biya, who has headed the
country for 36 years seems to expect this. He is lying low, very low
for now, so that he does not catch the eye of sharp tongued and witted
progressives like Kah Walla of Cameroon O Bosso and Hon. Ayah Paul
Abine, a parliamentarian who has spent his entire career begging for a
road to his constituency, so he does not have to drive through
Nigeria.

There is some momentum for change sweeping across. the Arab world,
Cameroonians must ride that wave of change, so that Biya may be
flushed out by the end of this year from the presidency.

Cameroonians deserve a leader who feels their pain, and communes with them.

Kah Walla or Ayah Paul would do a better job.
