2011 Elections: Participation and political change in Cameroon
By Aloysius AGENDIA
The massive registration and voting of Cameroonians in the 2011 Presidential Election
in Cameroon is indispensable for change in the country, whether the elections would be
rigged or not.
Registration and voting may not be an immediate panacea to our problems, but it
is a significant step towards signalling that we want change and even
implementing the change and in the direction that we want.
Massive registration would definitely mean that the people are ready
to defend their votes. This will make would-be riggers to be
cautious in the way they go along with
their malicious business. It is equally easier to rigged elections when there
are less registered voters and actual voters, than when there are many
people who registered and actually vote.
Massive turn out is always a very important signal.
