Below is a press release.
The embassies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, of the United States of America and the High Commission of great Britain and Northern Ireland made public a joint press release on August 16, 2007 on the legislative and municipal elections of July 22, 2007. The Cameroon government is pleased with the interest these chancelleries have in so doing, demonstrated, in the organization of elections in Cameroon. The government thanks them for the efforts they have made in regard and for their congratulations to the state authorities “on the organization of the polls in a generally calm atmosphere” (…) and “for improvements noticed in comparison with past elections” (…) as well as the “right application of the electoral law in many localities” (…) and “for a transparent electoral process”. The government expresses gratitude for their commitment to stand by it in the task of consolidation of Cameroonian democracy, conducted for many years now under the high and constant impetus of his Excellency Paul Biya, President of the Republic and Head of State. However, the Cameroonian government expresses its surprise at the procedure and the time (after the decision of the Supreme Court and the Message of Head of State to the Nation) chosen by these diplomatic missions to make known their observations on the July 22, 2007 polls. The government recalls that throughout the preparatory phase of these elections, consultations were regularly held between the Public administrations involved and diplomatic missions accredited to Yaounde within the frameworks of the electoral process support group (EPSG) and structured political dialogue. |
