The Bangou chiefdom, a bone of contention between the CPDM elite and the people
As the 2025 elections approach, tension is at its height in the commune of Bangou, once an impregnable bastion of the CPDM. At the heart of the discord: the thorny question of the Bangou chiefdom, vacant for many years due to a war of succession which is tearing the community apart. According to information collected by 237online.com, the local CPDM elite is singled out by the population for its interference in this crisis.
Indeed, influential figures from the ruling party, like the honorable Théodore Datouo, vice-president of the National Assembly, would have taken up the cause of Tchinou, one of the pretenders to the throne. A choice which goes against the popular will, mainly won by Maurice Ngambou, son of the late nationalist king Paul Bernard Kamayou. This failure of the CPDM elite has exacerbated tensions and divided the community into several antagonistic camps.
2025, the year of the people’s revenge on the CPDM elite?
Faced with this explosive situation, many are predicting a real political earthquake in Bangou in 2025. The “ low people“, long bullied and despised by an elite accused of using the CPDM as a business, seems determined to take its revenge at the polls. “ The CPDM elite, for having betrayed the memory of Paul Bernard Kemayou, will be severely sanctioned”warns the spokesperson for the notables of the Bangou chiefdom Maurice Ngambou version.
A warning that echoes the growing resentment of the population towards these « great bridges » of the regime, formerly adored but today ridiculed during their visits to the village. The Stockholm syndrome, which pushes the oppressed to become attached to their tormentors, seems to have lived in Bangou. Those administered are determined to block the road to the electoral manipulations which once ensured victory for the RDPC.
Is the CPDM digging its own grave in Bangou?
In this deleterious context, the future of “party of flames” in Bangou seems more compromised than ever. How will the elites hated for their interference in the chieftaincy crisis be able to convince a population that no longer wants “feed the venom which will turn against her” ? The RDPC’s disastrous record at the local level does not help matters.
If the ruling party is known for having more than one trick up its sleeve, this time it could well be caught in its own trap. By insisting on imposing a pretender to the throne against popular will, has the CPDM elite not sawn off the branch on which the entire party was sitting in Bangou? Response in the ballot boxes in 2025. One thing is certain: the “low people” is determined to rewrite the political history of this commune. To the left-wing elites then to the right-wing elites the people are looking at us.
