This is the main thing to remember from the meeting held on April 21 between Emmanuel Mariel Dijkdent, the prefect of the Mfoundi department and the representatives of several Cameroonian political parties.
On the instructions of the civil cabinet of the Presidency of the Republic, the prefect of the department headquarters of the institutions summoned, on April 22, 2024, the leaders of a certain level of political parties. During this meeting, which took place in the conference room of the prefecture located in the Nlongkak district in Yaoundé, it was a question of communicating on the modalities of participation in the civil parade which will be held on May 20 on the eponymous boulevard at the occasion of the celebration of the 52nd edition of the National Unity Day.
From this meeting, we essentially remember that only the political groups represented in parliament will be able to beat the tarmac in front of the head of state. These include the Rdpc, the Undp, the Fsnc, the Sdf, the Pcrn, the Udc, the Mdr, the Ums and the Upc .
Furthermore, in addition to the condition of representativeness in the national assembly or the senate, the administrative authority added that the selected parties must, not only send a written declaration to its services, or even to cite only these few conditions, respect the number of squares which are respectively allocated to them as well as the time allotted for their passages which is 15 minutes.
But also, paraders are required to use cell phones during the parade and they must wear shoes appropriate to the occasion.
With the aim of celebrating national unity, political parties were therefore reminded that during this parade, only messages in this direction will be retained. “We celebrate unity... We do not want signs that carry messages contrary to unity or those that have not been approved by the civilian cabinet of the Presidency of the Republic. It is also not an opportunity to campaign. That being said, political parties authorized to parade can only have one effigy, namely that of the guarantor of the institutions of the Republic,” concluded Emmanuel Mariet Dijkdent.
