Isi artikel

1966 and 2006 are two milestones in the political history of Cameroon. They represent, respectively, the establishing of the one-party system in the country and the vote, by the parliament, of the bill creating an independent body for the organization of elections in the country. The road followed by Cameroon, as compared to the one chosen by most African countries, notably Benin and Niger as far as building the political framework is concerned, seems to be different. This paper, which analyses Cameroonian major constitutional and electoral laws voted as from 1990 and appraises facts from newspapers as compared to Benin and Niger, aims at showing that, since 1966, the rulers have always endeavored to have a Cameroonian exception in the field of democracy. The eventual aim has been openly a Cameroonian model of democracy. In reality, the hidden aim has been to perpetuate the domination of the party state in the political landscape of the country.
