RACE TO ETOUDI MORPHED OVER COUNTDOWN
The race to Etoudi has taken a different twist as the countdown narrows. Political parties have been re-strategising their campaign techniques introducing special gadgets in a bid to woo voters.
On the field, some parties such as the CPDM, PFD, MRC and PURS now distribute key holders, headscarfs, caps and specially decorated loincloths. The CPDM party has introduced specially fabricated and decorated loincloths, carrying a picture of their candidate Paul Biya.
Women belonging to the Women’s wing of the party can be identified from a distance while in their loincloth, a cap combined with a white t-shirt carrying the photo of Paul Biya. The use of attractive colours has been widely noticed especially within the ranks of the PFD party of Akere Muna that has opted to be identified with an attractive bright yellow t-shirt with orange gadgets.
Today as the campaign activities metamorphosed, it won’t be wrong to conclude that anything in orange colour represents the PFD party. Maurice Kamto besides using the traditional green colour jersey of the national football team, he has introduced whistles. In all his campaigns, he places his official party fabric side by side with the national flag.
