ISSA Tchiroma Declares Three-Day Ghost Town: Cameroon Braces for Regional Election Showdown

In a bold and strategic move, Barrister Alice Nkom, the official spokesperson for President-elect Issa Tchiroma Bakary, has announced a new phase in the ongoing resistance movement following Cameroon’s disputed October 12 presidential election. The announcement, made earlier today, outlines a series of peaceful civic actions set to begin on Sunday, November 30, signaling a renewed push for democratic accountability and national unity.

At the heart of this new phase is the launch of “The People’s Regionals”, a groundbreaking online civic engagement initiative. This digital forum will allow Cameroonians from all ten regions to:

  • Share their views on the current political crisis
  • Vote on key national issues
  • Engage in open dialogue about the country’s future

Barrister Nkom described the platform as “a new way for Cameroonians to express themselves, different from the old system that has silenced too many for too long.”

To accompany the launch of the People’s Regionals, Barrister Nkom has declared three days of nationwide ghost towns from Sunday, November 30 to Tuesday, December 2. The call includes:

  • Sunday: A day of reflection and worship. Citizens are encouraged to attend church or community meetings, but no business activities should take place.
  • Monday: A unified national ghost town, extending the tradition of peaceful protest long observed in the Northwest and Southwest regions.
  • Tuesday: A final day of silence and stillness to remind the world that Cameroonians have not forgotten the October 12 election and continue to demand that the true results be respected.

Barrister Nkom emphasized the importance of nonviolence, urging all participants to remain peaceful and avoid any form of provocation. “This is a movement of dignity, not destruction,” she stated.

In her closing remarks, Barrister Nkom sent a powerful message to Cameroonians across the globe:

“We will not give up. Victory belongs to the people.”

She called on supporters to stay connected, resilient, and united, reinforcing that this movement is not just about one man or one election—it is about reclaiming the soul of a nati

The announcement comes amid heightened political tensions and a growing crackdown on dissent. With at least 49 people killed and thousands arrested since the election, the stakes have never been higher. The People’s Regionals and the ghost town campaign represent a significant escalation in the peaceful resistance movement and a test of national solidarity.

As the world watches, Cameroonians are preparing to make their voices heard—not with violence, but with silence, unity, and digital mobilization.
