In Cameroon, Joshua Osih has called for strict adherence to the electoral calendar. The Social Democratic Front (SDF) leader insists the schedule belongs to the people, not the government.

During a July 23 press conference, SDF leader Joshua Osih urged the government to respect the electoral calendar. To pressure the RDPC regime into holding elections, he called on all opposition parties—regardless of political leanings—to unite behind this critical demand for the Cameroonian people’s rights.

«Elections must proceed on time—no further delays. The electoral calendar belongs to the people, not the government. I urge the entire opposition to form a united front on this demand,» Osih declared. His appeal has yet to elicit a response from opposition leaders.

The timing of this demand follows several months after municipal and legislative elections were postponed. The government’s bill was passed by the National Assembly, and a decree signed by President Paul Biya took effect in June 2026, extending mandates until February 2027.

Government officials cited financial, logistical, and security constraints, along with calendar adjustments, to justify the postponements.
