The politics of hate, rancor and bitterness is said to have taken a new twist in Wum, Menchum division, North west Cameroon.

The cold war that has been ongoing between the CPDM Menchum I section president, Chuo Cyprian Akwo showed its ugly last week at the CPDM headquarters in Yaoundé. Some four Menchum CPDM elite (names withheld for now) are said to have stormed the central committee of the party demanding the sacking of Chuo Cyprian, who had emerged head high during the last reorganization exercise of the party.

It is unclear why the four well-known political adversaries of Chuo Cyprian undertook the sheepish move, but a source at the CPDM Central Committee confided in us that they seemed to have been taken aback by the latter's success. Chuo Cyprian, it should be said, crushed both mayor Dighambong Anthony and Hon Wallang Richard to emerge victorious during the polls.

While at the central committee, the four CPDM lackeys are reported to have told Jean Kweteu, the CPDM scribe that it was SDF militants who voted Chuo Cyprian during the hotly contested elections.

Sadly enough, the CPDM scribe told them that it was a good thing that the current president had to convince opposition militants to vote him and moreover, the fact those referred to as hitherto SDF militants had CPDM cards remains a victory to the party.

They are said to have cunningly zoomed out of the central committee looking dejected and crestfallen.

Chuo Cyprian won last December polls in Wum described by observers as fair,credible and transparent. Commentators had described his victory as remarkable and historic. The man who currently works at the ministry of public health is said to have swung into action shortly after his victory. Last March he launched a project for the construction of a party Secretariat in Wum.the old one had become more or less an eyesore.

Surface terracing pending official keep off the project is said to be taking place at the site at the moment.
