A political storm is brewing in the North-West Region after Maurice Tiibam Kube, a long-time member of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM), publicly announced his resignation from the ruling party, citing what he calls a “mathematical miracle of fraud” in the October 12 presidential election results for Njinikom Subdivision.
In a letter dated October 15, 2025, and addressed to the CPDM Section President for Boyo I Njinikom, Kube declared that his departure was an act of “truth, conscience, and honour,” accusing local party and electoral officials of fabricating results that, in his words, “defy logic and insult the intelligence of the people.”
“A National Embarrassment”
“The so-called results of the October 12 presidential election in Njinikom are a national embarrassment and a direct assault on truth and decency,” Kube wrote.
“The claim that 2,241 people voted for Paul Biya in Njinikom is a shameless fabrication. Everyone knows that fewer than 130 citizens showed up at the Njinikom Community Hall, where ELECAM had converged all polling stations of the municipality.”
The former party militant described the figures attributed to the ruling CPDM as “statistical fiction turned into official record,” arguing that such manipulation undermines the credibility of both the local electoral process and the party's image itself.
A Stand “In Defence of Truth”
Kube said his resignation was not motivated by partisan bitterness but by a moral obligation to denounce wrongdoing within his own political family.
“The mathematical miracle of fraud has brought shame and ridicule upon the proud sons and daughters of Njinikom, people known for integrity, hard work, and dignity,” he asserted. “To remain silent in the face of such injustice would make me complicit.”
Describing himself as a loyal supporter of the CPDM’s founding ideals, he said the current state of affairs had strayed far from those principles. His letter concluded with a call for electoral transparency and civic courage among Cameroonians of all political leanings.
Reactions and Political Context
As of press time, neither the CPDM Boyo I Section nor ELECAM officials in the Division had issued a public response to Kube’s allegations. However, local sources confirmed that the turnout in Njinikom on election day appeared visibly low due to security concerns and voter apathy.
The October 12 presidential election, which is still awaiting official confirmation of results by the Constitutional Council, has sparked controversy nationwide amid competing claims of victory and growing calls for transparency from civil society groups.
Kube’s resignation adds a new layer to the unfolding political debate, symbolizing what many observers view as an emerging wave of dissent within grassroots ranks of the ruling party.
“Truth is the first victim of political convenience,” Kube warned in his closing statement. “But it will not die quietly not in Njinikom.”
