The Social Democratic Front, SDF party’s chairman Honorable Joshua Osih has appealed for an inclusive approach that will provide a peaceful political transition in Cameroon.

He was speaking during the second National Executive Committee (Nec) meeting, held on February 17, at the party’s regional headquarter in Olezoa-Yaounde, since the party’s elective convention.

This is coming at the time when within the position of oppositions in Cameroon, there are calls for a coalition against the ruling party in the presidential election in 2025. This was on the agenda of proceeding in which the party chair told the media that the party was opened.

“The SDF has been able to organize coalitions since 1990. We sincerely believe that where Cameroon stands today, we need to seriously work towards pushing an agenda and not running after a coalition so that one actor wins. we are for a winning Cameroon and not for a winning individual” Joshua Osih told the press.

For the country to be in good shape, the SDF foresees a political transition through a broad based concertation, which is inclusive and meetup the aspirations of all cameroonians to rebuild from what the party considers a sociopolitical and economic breakdown, for a system that has reigned for long.

“We are today at a turning point, and we’re looking forward to put proposal on the table that can be as inclusive as possible to bolster our country to a political transition. We’re not running to win the race, but trying to bring together, to make sure that the only outcome that can save this country-which is the political transition, is the agenda that will be taken” he stressed.

The party’s finances was also under review as well as the work of adhoc committees created, all geared towards giving the SDF, the new momentum with the new leadership.

Six adhoc committees were created to give the desired steam and to redefine SDF policy.
