The Sdf aims to find 2.5 million missing voters

Up to 2.5 million potential voters are to be targeted by the Social Democratic Front ( SDF) as it seeks to ensure that the missing millions are struggling to register and have not yet exercised their right to vote are given a voice this time in next presidential and crucial election for Cameroon, John Fru Ndi told the media in France after the Socialist International council meeting.( 15-16 November 2010 in Paris).

In an attempt to reach out to critics, who question the chairman about the recurrence of the constants and mass resignations within the party ahead of the presidential election,

John Fru Ndi will then unveil plans to respond and also to increase voting in areas of high social deprivation and social discontent in Cameroon.

 John Fru Ndi will take time to explain and shed a light on the climate of suspicion which prevails in the party. He is expected to tell members of the party abroad, supporters and sympathisers of the Sdf `struggle and battle for fairness, democracy and  a new Cameroon with a new beginning without Biya,

 that his party with the help of international organisations such as the Socialist International, will attempt to locate missing voters  around the country by piloting a similar voting system of  registration and localisation and identification of voters.

 This will allow local sdf supervisors and election monitors to compare with local authorities information. The chairman said that, it is not good enough to simply ignore the millions who aren`t registered.

 Areas where local authorities are using intimidation methods to push away sdf members to even register and have their national identity card confiscated for not real reason...

The sdf with the international community help will work closely to reduce electoral fraud by being involved in the entire process of the registration and the publication of the electoral list.

According to government statistics ( Home Office or Territorial administration ministry) in 2009, about 12 million Cameroonians today are eligible to vote and the Cpdm all alone might have had 7 million potential voters and the rest is for others parties..

For him these missing millions must be given back their voices and choices in a fair, free and democratic election where there is no intimidation and hassle.
