Vanigasen Mochiggle: Shadow Cabinet Minister
SDF Shadow Cabinet Minister for Internal Affairs, Vanigansen Mochiggle has debunked allegations that Hon. Osih Joshua is the Presidential candidate for the upcoming elections in 2018. In a Facebook reaction posted by the North West Coalition of Civil Society Organizations, Vanigansen Mochiggle said that the story is an imagination, adding that "  the organs and the structures of the party are clearly spelt in the party's constitution. In no section of the Constitution do we have nomenclature as "wise men ". Furthermore any serious and authoritative member of the party cannot claim such title as he exposes himself / herself to disciplinary sanctions as provided for in section 15 (d)(v) and 16 of the party constitution read together. It is forbidden to use or assume names and titles not recognized by the party. Culprits expose themselves to disciplinary sanctions. Over and above, serious party policies or decisions are not articulated on the pages of news organs."

REBUTTAL PROBABLE ENDORSEMENT OF HON JOSHUA OSIH AS S.D.F PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
An online publication Cameroon Journal has asserted that an authoritative source within the S.D.F who requested anonymity hinted that there is negotiation between a so called group of wise men of the party to cause the National Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi to ordain the party's 1st Vice National Chairman Hon Joshua Osih as the S.D.F presumptive presidential candidate for 2018 presidential election. This story is the imagination of a news organ in search of notoriety. The organs and the structures of the party are clearly spelt in the party's constitution. In no section of the Constitution do we have nomenclature as "wise men ". Furthermore any serious and authoritative member of the party cannot claim such title as he exposes himself / herself to disciplinary sanctions as provided for in section 15 (d)(v) and 16 of the party constitution read together. It is forbidden to use or assume names and titles not recognized by the party. Culprits expose themselves to disciplinary sanctions. Over and above, serious party policies or decisions are not articulated on the pages of news organs.
Hon. Osih Joshua
The mechanism for choosing the party presidential candidate is stated in the party's constitution and has been applied since the creation of the party. The S.D.F Constitution has no provisions for natural candidates, presumptive candidates nor candidates through the "lifting" of hands. Candidates for presidential election is selected during an extra ordinary party convention convened for that purpose. Currently, National Executive Committee teams are carrying out a nationwide reorganization of the basic party structures. This in line with the declaration of the national Chairman during the Silver Jubilee Celebrations. I quote, "we therefore call on all party members to prepare themselves...... by getting engaged in the renewal exercise which will be launched after this anniversary celebrations...... " This regional commissions never had presidential candidates opinion survey as term of reference. As provided for in the party's constitution and officially declared by the National Chairman during the 26th anniversary of the party. The party will have an Ordinary Convention next year. Conventions offer occasion per excellence for the evaluation and codification of party policies. It also permits the renewal of leadership at NEC level. This issue of presumptive candidate is a serious distraction geared to distabilise the party and news organs have been solicited for that purpose.
