Cameroon – 53% with ELECAM’s help: Professor Assira’s rebuke of a mayor

On a television panel, a mayor compares Cameroon’s electoral situation with Senegal’s. Professor Claude Assira challenges the comparison, saying the mayor obtained 53% with the help of ELECAM and the Constitutional Council. His retort, ending with “Let’s be serious, Mr. Mayor,” went viral. The excerpt frames the exchange as reflecting a divide over democracy in Cameroon.
