The Cameroon elections are being hailed as better organised than the 2018 polls, marked by the timely arrival of voting materials and polling stations opening on schedule, according to observations made by News Central TV correspondent Kathleen Ndongmo across the capital city.
The election has seen a significant surge in voter interest, particularly among the youth, with the sentiment that “change is the only possible route” dominating the mood.
The nation has seen a dramatic increase in electoral participation. The electoral commission reported that over 8 million people have registered to vote, nearly double the number from the 2018 election.
Observations in the Yaoundé 1 district showed a steady stream of voters, with a notable presence of younger voters and women.
Ndongmo reported from a polling unit, which is a school housing multiple voting stations, emphasising the visible youth engagement driven by a collective desire for political change.
Voter enthusiasm was also reported in the Anglophone region. Speaking to voters in the city of Limbe, Ndongmo noted that turnout there was also “on the high.”
Despite ongoing security concerns in the region, the city was described as experiencing a sense of “calm and security,” allowing a significant number of residents to fulfil their civic duty and cast their ballots.
