Cameroonians head to the polls on the 9th of October 2011 to elect a new president. Resentment and degradation of infrastructure is pushing voters to look for alternatives to the aging Paul Biya who is widely perceived as being out of touch.
A popular website, Cameroon-Info.net is running an online poll. So far, it shows Edith Kah Walla leading Paul Biya who has been ruling the country since 1975. She is the first woman to stand for presidential elections in Cameroon.
As of 10PM Eastern Standard Time, she has 34.5% of the votes and is trailed a distant second by incumbent, the visibly tired Paul Biya with 17.3%. In an open, free and failr electoral process, Edith Kah Walla will be the winner, but Paul Biya is using the whole state machinery for his campain. In fact, he has yet to make a single campaign speech or statement.
It is sad that Paul Biya who couldn't care what happens to the average Cameroonian will be shooed in by his hand-picked Elecam, whereas serious candidates who are in daily touch with the population like Kah Walla will have the door closed on their fingers. One day, just one day, the trends in these polls will become reality..
