In the absence of any postponement, at least four elections
will be held in Cameroon in 2018. This has kept some parties already working
hard to capture votes. One of the parties already in preparation mood is the
United Democratic Party (UDP) of El Hadj Lawan Bako.

Apart from making a strong showing at the national
day march past in Bamenda, the party has developed programmes tailored at
helping the poor as a strategy of wooing supporters
The party which is described as an inspiration for
resilience and survival in a nation where many political parties die at birth
while others only exist on press releases features prominently at most national
events. It stands solidly by the unity of the nation and justice for all as the
way forward for peace, togetherness and development. “We are strong and alive because we are
consistent and what we said yesterday is true for today and tomorrow,” UDP
chairman, El Hadj Lawan Bako, told Cameroon Tribune.
The 25-year-old party has since 2005 been an
inspiration through its Family Support programme. “In Cameroon, the UDP is the only party that
is very close to and feels for the family. The Family Support Programme started
in 2005 and we have been at the service of the poor, disabled and needy with
basic togetherness needs,” Lawan Bako boasted. The UDP has impacted on the lives of many people with
farm tools for rural women, basic livelihood gifts to men and women with
disabilities, savon, salt, clothing for the “have nots” and sport competitions
for youths in areas like Boyo, ancestral home of its National chairman, El Hadj Lawan Bako and Bui, home of
its Regional Chairman, Kwatekwa
Neneng. The UDP chairman stated
that through the programme, they easily mobilise militants and sympathizers in
peace, development and for elections.
That apart, the party counts on membership
contributions to survive without neglecting extra efforts and sacrifices by its
President for survival. The UDP also takes credit as a front line member of the
Presidential majority in Cameroon and “ we have been steadfast in deeds and
acts that inspire confidence in our militants,” El Hadj Lawan Bako said.
