October 12 poll: Misaje sets sight on 100% vote for Biya.

The supporters, who came from the length and breadth of Misaje Subdivision, took the firm commitment on Saturday October 4, 2025. 

This was during the official launch of CPDM campaigns for the October 12 presidential election.

The campaign launch was publicly staged at the Misaje Municipal Grandstand. The event brought together thousands of party supporters and sympathisers from across the Misaje Subdivision.

The rally signaled a strong grassroots mobilisation in support of the party’s candidate, incumbent President Paul Biya. 

In attendance was the Divisional Officer for Misaje and his entourage.

Other officials included the Chargé de Missions of the CPDM campaign team, elite of the Subdivision, traditional rulers, Ardos, and CPDM supporters from all 12 villages that make up the Misaje Subdivision.

The event was presided over by Ali Tukur, Section President of Donga Mantung IV, Misaje.

Once on the rostrum, Tukur, warmly welcomed all participants, especially elite of the area and committed CPDM supporters who turned out in large numbers to launch what he described as a "campaign of gratitude, hope, and loyalty".

In his keynote speech, Ali Tukur highlighted the longstanding political alliance between the people of Misaje and President Paul Biya, referring to it as a "political marriage" rooted in mutual respect and developmental achievements. 

The CPDM grassroots leader emphasised the numerous projects realised under the New Deal government, including the construction of schools, hospitals, potable water systems, electrification, roads, and the landmark Ring Road project that passes through the subdivision.

"Misaje has witnessed tremendous transformation under the leadership of President Paul Biya," he said. 
"It is now our duty to consolidate these gains by delivering a transparent and resounding victory come October 12," he added.

Ali Tukur has called on all “living forces” of Misaje, youths, elite, women, traditional authorities, and community leaders, to rally behind President Biya, whom he described as the “champion of development and peace”.

Tukur also reaffirmed Misaje’s status as the bastion of CPDM in the North West Region, stating that “CPDM is not just a political party here—it is a religion”.

The occasion was animated by a colorful parade of traditional dance groups from all 12 villages of Misaje, that performed at the Grandstand to the delight of attendees. 

The presence of traditional rulers and community leaders gave the event added cultural and political significance. The ceremony ended with a strongly worded motion of support addressed to President Paul Biya, affirming the community’s unwavering commitment to ensuring his re-election in the upcoming polls.
