Five municipal councillors from Dargala have announced a collective resignation from the Union Nationale pour la Démocratie et le Progrès (UNDP) and have joined the Rassemblement party. The move was made public earlier this week by the councillors themselves, who cited internal disagreements within the UNDP as the reason for their departure.
While the names of the councillors were not disclosed in the brief statement, the announcement was confirmed by local officials in Dargala. The councillors will now serve as representatives of the Rassemblement party in the municipal council.
UNDP, a political party operating in Cameroon, has historically fielded candidates in local and national elections. The Rassemblement party, which has been gaining traction in several regions, has welcomed the five former UNDP members as part of its growing base.
Observers note that the shift could alter the balance of power in Dargala’s municipal council, though no immediate changes to council proceedings have been reported. The councillors have not yet outlined specific policy priorities as members of their new party.
