According to a press release issued by the Kamto Coalition team, Prof. Maurice Kamto remains the winner of Cameroon’s October 7 polls.
The release states,
“information of the electoral results from the National Vote Counting Commission of the recent presidential election is currently circulating on the social media. According to this information, candidate Paul Biya has won with an overwhelming majority.In reaction to this falsified victory, CRM and its coalition of political parties and other organisations built in support of the candidacy of Maurice KAMTO have categorically rejected these falsified results.
These fake figures are originating from fabricated result sheets of some fake observers who claimed to be of Transparency International, but were later on unmasked, as they were trying to convince the national and international public to accept.

4. The spread of hate speech in the public and certain private media;
5. The arbitrary arrest and detention of Mr. Thierry OKALA EBODE, Deputy National Treasurer of the CRM, whose only fault is to have denounced a fraud that involved the usurpation of his identity by another voter; the latter haven been assisted by the president of the polling station is until now surprising protected;
6. The expulsion, manipulation, militarisation, from polling stations of representatives of CRM in most of the three Northern regions – Adamaoua, North and Farr North , as well as in the East and South Regions, and certain divisions in the Centre, West and South West Regions;
