By 10 a.m. when the newly installed Senior Divisional Officer, Mekondane Obounpou Albert dropped his electoral envelops into the two transparent boxes at one of the the Kousseri Town Council, all the 112 polling stations were already in peak form with commission members directing voters on voting procedures.

After casting his vote, the SDO stated inter alia that everything was moving well at the moment he fulfilled his civic duty. "The two political parties competition in Logone and Chari have so far exercised good comportment", he told Cameroon Tribune. "We have made a tour of all the Subdivisions and there has been no abnormal signal as the population is voting under exemplary discipline", Mekondane Obounpou stated. There was total satisfaction on the faces of the two members of government who equally voted in Kousseri.
