The UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres has called for peaceful, credible and inclusive elections in Cameroon, ahead of the country’s presidential election on Sunday.
The UN chief, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mr Stephane Dujarric, called on all stakeholders to “exercise restraint before, during and after the election”.
Mr Guterres also urged all Cameroonians to exercise their democratic rights, urging all candidates “to address any complaints related to the electoral process through established legal and constitutional channels”.
