Парламентские выборы состоялись в Камеруне 22 июля 2007 года, [ 1 ] с голосованием в некоторых районах, перезагруженном 30 сентября. [ 2 ] Местные выборы были проведены в тот же день, где были поставлены места на 363 городских советах. [ 3 ] Результатом стала победа для правящего народного демократического движения Камеруна (RDPC), которое выиграло 153 из 180 мест в Национальном собрании , в то время как главная оппозиционная партия, социал -демократический фронт (SDF), выиграл 16 мест.

Кампания
[ редактировать ]В общей сложности 1274 кандидата выступили за 180 мест в Национальном собрании, причем 41 сторона участвовали в выборах. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] На местных выборах 24 820 кандидатов оспорили 6 514 доступных позиций. [ 1 ] RDPC был единственной стороной, у которой были кандидаты во всех районах. [ 6 ]
Во время кампании были заявления о том, что RDPC было дано непропорциональное эфирное время по телевидению и радио; Жан-Жак Экинди , президент оппозиционного прогрессивного движения (MP), жаловался на то, что депутат получил только шесть секунд эфирного времени по телевидению в день, давая ему в общей сложности одну минуту и 24 секунды для всей кампании. По словам Экинди, это представляло дискриминацию в отношении небольших партий и было незаконным. [ 7 ] 18 июля 2007 года депутат формализовал союз с Камерунским демократическим союзом (UDC); В рамках этого соглашения стороны решили не управлять кандидатами в тех же избирательных округах. [ 8 ]
Руководить
[ редактировать ]On 17 July, John Fru Ndi, the leader of the opposition SDF, which suffered from divisions in the years preceding the election, claimed that the preparations for the elections were plagued with irregularities, including poor distribution of voter registration cards (with some people receiving multiple cards and others receiving no cards) and the redrawing of electoral districts even though census results had not been published. Fru Ndi said that the election would not be transparent and blamed President Paul Biya for this; he said the ruling RDPC wanted a two-thirds parliamentary majority so that the constitution could be changed in order to allow Biya to run for president again in 2011. The SDF participated in the election, with 103 candidates from the party seeking seats; according to Fru Ndi, a boycott would be useless.[9]
Voter turnout in the election was reportedly low, with one estimate placing turnout in Douala at about 20%,[6] although the Minister of Territorial Administration, Marafa Hamidou Yaya, said late on the day of the election that turnout was "very honorable" across the country. He also said that the election had gone smoothly and without major incidents. Others, however, said that there were irregularities, including widespread cases of people being allowed to vote with only voter registration cards and not identity cards as well.[6][10] The opposition denounced the election as fraudulent, with Fru Ndi labelling it a "sham"; it alleged that ballot papers were withheld from some people, that the indelible ink could be washed off, and that one town in the north did not receive ballot papers.[11] There were also opposition allegations that some people were enabled to vote for the RDPC in place of other voters.[10]
In addition to the SDF, the UDC also alleged fraud, and the SDF and the UDC announced that they would appeal in every district where they were defeated. Another opposition party, the Alliance of Democratic Forces (AFP), said that it would not appeal because it considered the legal system so corrupt that it would be useless to do so.[10]
President Biya, voting in Yaoundé, said that he expected "a comfortable majority, which will enable me to build and modernise the country."[11] He said that campaigning occurred "in a calm, serene and peaceful atmosphere", and expressed his hope that this atmosphere would remain and that people would accept the results.[12]
Results
[edit]Following the announcement of the results, 103 appeals were filed with the Supreme Court by a number of parties;[13] most requested the annulment of results in certain districts, although some sought only a neutral recount. The UNDP filed the most appeals, with 33, while the SDF filed 30, the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC) filed six, and the RDPC filed four.[14] Fru Ndi said on 2 August that the entire elections should be annulled due to fraud, claiming that if the election had been "free and transparent", the SDF would have won a majority in both the parliamentary and municipal elections.[15]
On 10 August, final results were announced by the Supreme Court. The RDPC won 140 seats, the SDF won 14 seats, the UNDP and the UDC won four seats each, and the Progressive Movement won one seat.[16][17] The Supreme Court annulled the election in five districts, leaving 17 seats vacant until new elections are held there.[16][17][18] Of the 163 deputies elected, there were 23 women, 14% of the total.[19]
Partial re-run
[edit]On 29 August it was announced that the elections in the five electoral districts where the results were cancelled—Wouri-East, Mayo-Tsanaga-North, Nyong and Kellé, Mungo South, and Haut-Nkam—would be held on 30 September.[2][20][21] Campaigning for the partial election began on 15 September.[22]
Provisional results showed the RDPC winning 13 of the 17 vacant seats, with the SDF winning two and the UNDP winning two. The RDPC won majorities in three of the five districts at stake, Haut-Nkam, Moungo-South, and Nyong-and-Kellé, taking all three of the available seats in each of those districts. In Wouri-East, the SDF won a plurality, with the RDPC close behind, and the two parties each took two of the four available seats there. In Mayo-Tsanaga-North, the RPDC won a plurality, with the UNDP close behind, and the two parties each took two of the four available seats there.[23] The SDF disputed these results, with Fru Ndi claiming that it had actually won six seats: he said that it had won a majority (over 52%) in Wouri-East, giving it all four of those seats, and that it had also won one additional seat in Haut-Nkam and another additional seat in Mayo-Tsanaga-North.[24]
On 10 October the Supreme Court ruled that six appeals regarding the partial election were inadmissible, and rejected two other appeals.[25] It confirmed the final results of the partial election on 15 October, giving the RDPC 13 seats (and a new total of 153), the SDF and UNDP won two seats each, giving them 16 and six seats respectively.[4]

Local elections
[edit]In the local elections for the 363 town councils,[3] provisional results from the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization showed the RDPC winning control of 310 councils, the SDF winning 21, the UNDP 13, the UDC eight, the MDR five, the UPC three, and the National Alliance for Democracy and the People (ANDP) one.[26] The RDPC was said to have won all of the councils in Yaoundé and five of the six councils in Douala; the SDF was credited with winning the remaining council in Douala, the 4th district.[3] 216 requests for annulment regarding the local elections were filed with the Supreme Court.[27]
Along with the five districts where the parliamentary election was cancelled, the municipal elections in Lobo were also re-run on 30 September,[2][20] and in early September the Supreme Court cancelled the municipal results in a further nine electoral districts (Bana, Bafang, Bafoussam III, Kekem, Peté, Matom, Messondo, Mokolo, and Douala V), with new elections there also planned for the same date.[27] In Lobo, the RDPC won the 30 September vote overwhelmingly, with nearly 90%, according to provisional results.[23]
Aftermath
[edit]On 14 August Biya expressed a desire for opposition parties to participate in the government.[28] Two days later Fru Ndi said that the SDF would only join the government if it would follow certain policies:[29] decentralization and federalism, greater priority to the social sector, the establishment of an independent electoral commission, the reduction of taxes to encourage investment, and the improvement of living standards.[28] The SDF did not join the government in the cabinet reshuffle on September 7.[30]
The newly elected National Assembly held its first session on 21 August.[19][31] Although 17 seats were still vacant, only a two-thirds majority was necessary for the National Assembly to meet.[16] On the same day, a joint statement of the American, British, and Dutch embassies criticized the election due to irregularities and urged the creation of an independent electoral commission.[18] Cavaye Yeguie Djibril was re-elected as President of the National Assembly on August 31.[32]
