Almost 9 weeks have passed since Paul Biya "won" the last presidential election in Cameroon and has been also "declared" "winner" of the election even observers said there were numerous falsifications and rigging and the results do not reflect the people`s will.
Imperturbable and politically impervious, the national chairman of the main political party in Cameroon, the Cameroon People Democratic Movement has not yet decided who will be working or will be called to join the cabinet. But according to the latest investigation, there are some movement on the way.
There are preparations on the way for the Cameroon`s ruling party to announce the formation of a new Cabinet which will include a number of new opposition parties.
It is extremely hard to see how in this event, Paul Biya would be able to justify any role of the newcomers in the Cabinet.
The move appeared to be aimed at bolstering support of President Paul Biya`s government in the wake of an unprecedented economic hardships and a growing number of leadershipsceptics in the party.
The shuffle will give ministerial posts to a number of opposition parties that formed the majority for the presidential coalition.
There is enough space here just for Paul Biya and his team to navigate his way through the formation of the new Cabinet that will fortify his power. He has played down losses by his party, CPDM, whose support dropped "sharply" from above 80% to just less than " reality" 75% of the vote.
The opposition will only grow, as will pressure for a real change of direction and improvement of the life of millions who are still leaving in deep poverty in many corners of the country.
Biya and his team will need all the political cover that his coalition with the new opposition parties affords. US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said Washington and its allies for foreign Aid wanted Mr Paul Biya to make way for a Government ready to establish the rule of law and protect the right of all citizens.
