CAMEROON DECIDES 2025

Hilltopvoices.com Launches Comprehensive Election Coverage Initiative
Published: 11 June 2025

Hilltopvoices, News — As Cameroonians prepare to go to the polls later this year for what could be one of the most decisive elections in recent history, Hilltopvoices.com has unveiled its editorial roadmap under the bold banner “Cameroon Decides 2025”.

Beginning 1 July 2025, the platform will roll out an extensive series of features designed to take the presidential pulse of the nation. The project is aimed at empowering voters through timely, accurate, and inclusive reporting while scrutinising the political process in a way that promotes transparency and citizen participation.

The plan is anchored around two signature initiatives: the Candidate Tracker and the Manifesto Watch.

Candidate Tracker

Through the Candidate Tracker, Hilltopvoices.com will monitor every viable presidential candidate, covering campaign trails, biographical data, political histories, and key promises. The goal is to provide voters with a one-stop information hub that demystifies each contender.

“In a time of increasing political complexity, we want to offer voters credible information that helps them make informed decisions. The Candidate Tracker will serve as a living dossier for each candidate,” said Bakah Derick, Administrator and Lead Strategist of Hilltopvoices Communications Group Ltd.

Manifesto Watch

Meanwhile, Manifesto Watch will analyse and decode party manifestos and campaign promises. The feature will expose contradictions, validate feasibility, and highlight alignment with the nation’s development needs, particularly in education, health, infrastructure, youth employment, and inclusion.

Alongside these, Hilltopvoices.com will introduce interactive tools such as digital forums, town hall interviews, and Q&A features allowing citizens to engage with political ideas directly. Coverage will be sensitive to the voices of women, youth, persons with disabilities, and rural communities—groups often marginalised in political discourse.

“Inclusivity remains a core principle for us. We are not only following politicians—we are listening to the people, especially those whose political stakes are often ignored,” Bakah added.

The editorial team will work in partnership with local journalists and civil society organisations across the ten regions of Cameroon to ensure balanced and national coverage. The approach, Hilltopvoices says, is not just about reporting elections but facilitating informed and inclusive democratic engagement.

With nearly two decades of media experience, Hilltopvoices.com is well-placed to lead this effort. The site has gained a reputation for inclusivedevelopment reporting and amplifying the voices of underserved communities.

As the campaign season heats up, Cameroon Decides 2025 promises to be a major initiative in political journalism that empowers the electorate and deepens democratic values in Cameroon.
