The first stage of electoral fraud or rigging---Preventing Cameroonians from Registering. Cameroon's 2004 population was the same as the population of Ghana in 1996. See below how Ghana's number of registered voters doubled Cameroon's.

                

Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

Cameroon's 2004 population was the same as the population of Ghana in 1996. But their population numbers during the electoral processes in the two countries tell two different stories. One is a functioning democracy with a sense of direction and the other is a pseudo-democracy  performing far below its true potential; one is managed by flawed civic-nationalists  while the management of the other is by compradors who do not count on their people in maintaining their grip on power, but understand that their foreign backers would always be there to validate their fake election results. The account  below  tells provides an insight into the gross disparity in the numbers of registered voters and those who voted between Ghana and Cameroon.

 

 

CHAPTER ONE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul Biya has fully transformed Cameroon into an autocracy. There is no pretense anymore in his rule. He intends to shove another fake election down the throats of Cameroonians and the gullible in the world, all with the support of forces worldwide that benefit from his misrule of Cameroon, some of which have been maintaining him in power. To understand the extent of Paul Biya’s electoral masquerade, one only needs to make a comparison of Cameroon and Ghana ― two countries in Africa with an identical demographic pyramid or demographic structure, especially the percentage of the population of voting age.

 

Ghana is a Liberal Democracy; Cameroon is an Autocracy. Ghana’s population in 2018 is estimated at 29,463,643, while an estimation of Cameroon’s is 24,678,234. As seen in the tables below, Cameroon’s population at every given time is about the size of what Ghana’s was seven years earlier. For example, Ghana’s population in 2004 was 20,840,493; meanwhile, in 2011, Cameroon’s population was 20.520,000. In 1997, Ghana had 17.430,000 people, while Cameroon’s population reached that number in early 2005. So, as expected, the number of registered voters in Cameroon at any given time should be roughly the same as Ghana’s seven years prior. But that has not been the case, as seen in the tables below. Over the past decades, registered voters in Ghana have made up around 55% of the general population, while in Cameroon the total number of registered voters given by the Biya regime has always been around 27% of the population, which is about half of Ghana’s ― the first major telltale sign of the extent or the scale of vote-rigging that the Cameroonian government undertakes. The French-imposed system and the Biya regime, in particular, eliminate more than half of the Cameroonians opposing the political establishment from determining the outcome of elections at the registration phase of elections.

Election results in Ghana and Cameroon above highlight the extent of election rigging carried out by the Biya regime in Cameroon and the effectiveness of the election rigging machinery put in place by the French-imposed system made up of those who played no role in the cause for Cameroon’s liberation, otherwise known as the struggle for the independence and the reunification of French Cameroun and British Cameroons.

     Another case is Rwanda, a country that experienced a horrendous ethnic conflict in 1994, following a civil war that began in 1990. From April 07, 1994, to mid-July 1994, the overwhelmingly Hutu-dominated government orchestrated a genocide against the country’s minority Tutsi people and moderate Hutus that culminated in an estimated 500,000–1,000,000 Rwandan deaths, most of them Tutsis who lost about three-quarters of their population. As indicated below, Rwanda’s population is slightly less than half of  Cameroon’s, yet the country could boast of more registered voters than Cameroon when it held its presidential election in 2017.

Total Population of Rwanda in 2018	Candidate		Party	Votes	%
		Paul Kagame	Rwandan Patriotic Front	6,675,472	98.79

Rwanda emerged from the trauma of genocide to become one of the exceptional countries in Africa with a sense of direction not only in the economic sphere, but also in the social and political spheres.

CHAPTER TWO

 

 

 

Today: August 04, 2025

 

 

 

 

Ghana's population in 2024 was 34.43 million, which translates to 54% of the total population registered for the 2024 election in that West African Country.

 

The Population of Cameroon is at least 30 million today, based on most estimates taking into account future value from previous censuses. So, at least 16 million Cameroonians are expected to be registered for any genuine election in Cameroon in 2025, and at least  11 million voters are expected to cast their ballots. After all, Ghana, with a population of 21.89 million in 2020, had 17 million registered voters in its 2020 presidential elections, with 13.43 million of the registered voters casting their ballots. Which is why pundits hold that at least 12 million Cameroonians should vote to give any semblance of democracy to the charade called elections in Cameroon, the country with the most effective rigging machinery in the world.

 

If the compradors managing the anachronistic French-imposed system succeed in their charade in October 2025, their puppet masters or the powers that be abroad would use their mainstream media to declare that once again, "Paul Biya" (their creation) won against a host of challengers (so-called opposition) who are the other side of the same coin, made to come up every couple of years and pretend as if they challenging the system, lamely cry foul, but then accept the fake results(for the sake of peace, they always claim) the Cameroonian compradors declare, which the "Global Mafia" in Paris and other capitals gives its seal of approval to my congratulation Massa Biya, Cameroon's absentee candidate in the 2025 presidential elections, making Cameroonians once more the laughing stock of Africa and the rest of the world, and reinforcing the mindset of those racists and their engineered puppets in Yaoundé that nothing good can come out of Cameroonians and Africans.

 

Based on ELECAM’s (ELECTIONS CAMEROON) game plan, they have successfully prevented more than half of the population who wanted to register from registering, 90% plus who are of the opposition. About a third of the number of registered voters are fake (pro-regime people registered multiple times, etc.); and more than 20% of the registered voters, overwhelmingly of the opposition, would not be able to vote because their names would be absent from their polling stations, and would be told it is elsewhere.

 

In a nutshell, less than 3 million Cameroonians would be able to vote on election day, even though the regime of compradors would claim some 4 million  Cameroonians cast their votes, an increase of one million votes only from the 1992 figure of 3 million votes (although the population of Cameroon more than doubled from 1992-2025) casted in the 1992 presidential election that Paul Biya lost against John Fru Ndi of the SDF and Union for Change alliance, but which Biya and his regime stole, just like they stole the 2018 election against Maurice Kamto of MRC.
