I. BACKGROUND OF THE EXTRAORDINARYCONGRESS HED BY THE CPP

Following the declaration of her candidacy for the 2011 presidential election, Ms. Edith Kahbang Walla, better known as Kah Walla, attracted great interest for several political parties.

From consultations held with these parties, two key results emerged. The first is its entry into the Cameroon People's Party where she was elected President of the National Council and invested as party candidate for the 2011 presidential election, during the extraordinary congress of April 30, 2011. The second is the establishment of a political platform "THE TIME IS NOW CAMPAIGN" which is a political accord with several other political parties around her candidacy for the presidential and synergy of action at the municipal and legislative deadlines 2012.

In this regard, the extraordinary congress of April 30, 2011 of the Cameroon People's Party marks the birth of a new stage in the conquest of democracy in Cameroon. It must be said that this is one of the few times we have seen "a peaceful phasing out» of a party president and founder and of those with whom the party was created in 1991 for a new political generation. Thus, the Rev. Prof. TITA Samuel Fon, President and Founder of the CPP became the Honorary Chairman while Ms. Kah Walla takes the reins of the party as Chairperson of the National Council. At the same time as the management of the party has been handed over to a National Secretariat, whose average age is 30 years.  A real breakthrough in our context.

The key resolutions of the extraordinary congress are found in the minutes of the meeting attached.
