"We appeal to your Excellency to call for early Presidential election, and we reiterate our appeal for your Excellency Paul Biya to be our candidate,"
Advancing reasons why they wish to have early presidential election and why Paul Biya their candidate, Dr Ngam Gillieth, Charge De Mission at Prime Minister's Office pointed out in the statement that the CPDM was born in the Regional Capital Bamenda on the 24th of March, 1985.

Still in line with the appeal to Paul Biya to call for early Presidential election, the leader of the NW CPDM Permanent Regional Delegation, former Prime Minister, Philemon Yang said,
"We have a right to make a suggestion, and the earlier the better. We are only making a suggestion, the head of state will decide on his own."
Supporters of the CPDM were also invited to massively enter their names in to the electoral registers.

According to the political party, they believe in the verdict of the ballot box. Militants were also advised to be vigilant taken in to consideration the context of the North West Region.
Supporters and sympathisers of the party were warned that their 'enemies', and allies are struggling to outnumber them in the registers, and that some are ready to go as far as taking their lives.
The 39th birthday of the CPDM came at time when Cameroonians especially those in Bamenda, and the NWR as a whole are complaining of high cost of living, dead traps in the name of roads, epileptic electricity supply, inadequate portable water, insecurity, just to name but these.

Many in Bamenda think for the party to make any sense in the eyes of the suffering masses, they should be seen handling just the basic problems stirring the population in the eyes, like what Techno, a Nigerian musician said in one of his songs titled 'Rara,' " forget about the big things, let's talk about the small things."
