Jean Mbei Nje Elected Littoral FECAFOOT President

He got 60 out of 72 delegates' votes.

Despite the fact that the second assistant to the Mfoundi Senior Divisional Officer ,Mireille Noah Ossegue, had declared the meeting illegal, delegates of the Littoral Regional League of FECAFOOT went ahead to conduct elections. In the elections which were conducted in less than thirty minutes, the former president of the Sanaga Maritime divisional league of FECAFOOT, Jean Mbei Nje was elected president. He scored 60 on 60 votes from an electoral college of 72 people, the other party having boycotted.

The elections were marred by violence causing the elective assembly to be moved from Douala to Yaounde. In Yaounde there was a heavy police presence that contained the violence that erupted. The troubled elections in the Douala Regional League calls to mind the elections in Garoua which will have to be repeated as the president of Etoile Filante of Garoua, and candidate for the position of regional president, Abdouramane Amadou was barred from entering the hall.

Trouble also erupted during the election exercise in the South Region and for security reasons, the elections have been moved from Ebolowa to Yaounde today at the conference hall of the headquarters of the federation. Elections this year have been very heated in FECAFOOT as some people try to change the established order. The elections which began at the divisional level before moving to the regional level are in prelude to the election of the national president which will take place on May 25.
