“The Popular Action Party shall not take part in any Elections organized by the CPDM-BIYA Regime with the current electoral code and electoral body” he declared.
While calling for a ceasefire in the two English Speaking regions, Njang Denis said a revision of “the 1961 Constitution in a roundtable discussion” could solve the crisis. “The Popular Action Party Supports and stands for internal and external pressure on the current regime till complete Political Transition.” He concluded.
