The Cameroon National Salvation Front (CNSF) on Wednesday denied claims it would participate in the country’s upcoming regional elections, rejecting a report published by L’Œil du Sahel earlier the same day.
In a statement, the party described the report as “erroneous” and reaffirmed its refusal to engage in any institutional activity amid what it called a national crisis following a disputed electoral process.
“The CNSF cannot afford to normalise any form of institutional activity,” the party said, citing alleged electoral fraud, violent repression, and ongoing detentions of political prisoners.
The CNSF warned that taking part in elections organised by contested institutions would amount to “legitimising disorder” and ignoring the sacrifice of those who died during recent unrest.
“The focus of our struggle remains popular legitimacy, historical justice, and the moral reconstruction of our country,” the party added, calling for discipline and loyalty to the nation’s higher interests.
