| Councillors finding Common grounds |
Councillors of the SDF boycotted the Elections of the City Mayor of Bamenda
In a session held Tuesday, 25th February 2020, the councillors of the SDF run Bamenda 3 council stormed out of the hall in what they called "dictates of the SDO."
The Senior Divisional officer of Mezam rejected the SDF Nomination of Louis Angwafo, a CPDM Councillor of Bamenda 2 saying, "Nominate from your party," the councillors asked for clarification as to which text prohibited them. In response, the SDO gave 10 minutes for them to seek for common grounds

In a bit not to go against party discipline, the SDF candidate, Louis Angwafo, could not push through and the party opted for a second nomination, Fonguh Cletus Tanwie
Mezam SDO, Mooh Simon Emile, rejected the nomination that all nominations were closed. Paving the way for Paul Achombang to stand unopposed
He finally secured 58 votes hence becoming the first ever elected City Mayor of Bamenda
