The Minister of Territorial Administration, Atanga Nji Paul, has granted a press briefing on the general climate of the March 12, 2023, senatorial elections. In a press statement at the end of the elections at the conference room of the Ministry of Territorial Administration, he said elections took place in all 58 Divisions of Cameroon without any incidence “Generally, the senatorial election took place this Sunday in a peaceful and serene atmosphere in all the electoral constituencies” he said

He noted the enthusiasm surrounding the elections which demonstrated the
senate, as a strategic institution engaged in Cameroon’s development under President Paul Biya. Minister Atanga Nji, saluted transparency and fair play which prevailed during the elections. He said 3,000 national and international election observers were accredited by the Ministry of Territorial Administration for the Senatorial Elections, raising hope that the observers would produce objective reports.

He said security was ensured by MINAT across the country “As Government Agent in the electoral process, the Ministry of Territorial
Administration took appropriate measures to provide Elections Cameroon (ELECAM) with the security framework needed for the smooth running of the polls” Mr Atanga Nji said with regards to the elections.

On a contrast note, he said “the public service media was fair in strictly respecting broadcast time devoted to each political party during the electoral campaign. On the other hand, some private media organs rather did the contrary, giving more air time to certain political parties, thereby making the political debate unbalanced. Rounding off the briefing, the minister called on political parties to wait for proclamation of results by the Constitutional Council.
