Party officials attended a seminar in Bamenda yesterday March 22 on building new dynamics.

The Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) in the North West Region is mobilising its human and intellectual resources to consolidate achievements and build new dynamics in order to adequately face future political challenges.
