The analysis of grass rootsrealities and electoral results in Cameroon

Seit der Rückkehr der Mehrparteienpolitik in die politische Landschaft Kameruns in den 1990er Jahren nehmen die Menschen an Wahlen teil, um die Mandate ihrer Vertreter sowohl auf lokaler als auch auf nationaler Ebene zu erneuern. Die regierende Partei Kamerun People Democratic Movement (CPDM) hat in allen Wahlgängen laut den offiziellen Ergebnissen der Wahlleitungsgremien stets mit Landessiegen abgeschnitten. However, the daily lives of the people are characterized by different forms of hardship ranging from socio-economic difficulties (unemployment, poverty, lack of basic social needs, and poor infrastructural development) to political challenges like corruption, bad governance, embezzlement of state funds and tribalism Adam(greater autonomy in the two English speaking regions). This makes it difficult to corroborate the results of the elections and the daily lives claims of the people who continue to renew the mandate of the same representatives with the same political output. It is in this regard that we investigated on the motives behind the electoral results in Cameroon for the past 3 decades.
