The Right Hon Joseph Mbah Ndam was born in 1955 in Batibo where he attended his primary school, then went to Government Grammar School Mamfe. He then went to the then University of Yaoundé where he ended with a Doctorat de troisième cycle in Private law. He joined the Cameroon Bar Association in 1990 as a full Advocate.

In 1990 he joined the Social Democratic Front at its creation and has since then been one of the most formidable pillars of the Party as an ideologue, a strategist and inspirational figure. He led the college of lawyers who are the Party's Legal Advisers until his demise. He has been a member of the Party's National Executive Committee (NEC), National Advisory Council (NAC) and has led two NEC teams for the reorganization of Party structures in the North West and in the South West where he died still maintaining the latter position.

SDF Parliamentary Group raised a so called preliminary objection in order to have the bill on the institution of General Code of Regional and
Local Authorities which according to SDF "is marked only by its voluminousity and emptiness with no serious attempt to solve the current socio-political quagmire that the country is undergoing withdrawn and resubmitted only after aconsensual constitutional amendment."

The SDF Parliamentary Group Leader Honorable Chief PAUL NJI TUMASANG explained  MPAS

"In effect, presenting this bill without first reviewing the fundamental law of the Land is synonymous to putting the cart before the horse. The bill is marked by contradictions and a strong desire to hang on to the government’s Jacobin and iner  tendencies. We should stand boldly to solve our problems and not always sweep them under the carpet hoping that some strange extraterrestrials will come from a faraway planet to do so for us.

The threat to National Unity is as a result of the existential problems raised by the English Speaking Southern Cameroonian minority which freely took a political decision on the 11 th February 1961 to, on attainment of its independence on the 1 st October 1961, join the independent Republic of Cameroon who attained independence on the 1 st
January 1960 in a Federation of two States equal in status. This minority population was met with a condescending
attitude and violence when it raised the legitimate existential problem.

Jean Robert Wafo sets the record straight on rumours that the SDF will boycott the elections ( first published on feb 17th, 2019)

Information has been circulating since this morning on social networks about a decision taken by the SDF to boycott the upcoming municipal and legislative elections scheduled to take place on 9 February 2020.

Since the publication of the candidate lists of the SDF by Elecam, no new National Executive Committee resolution has been passed, let alone a correspondence from the National Chairman of the party, in the irreversible sense of the SDF not participating or definitively participating in the double vote next February. Internal discussions are ongoing on the extremely worrying situation in the two regions of the north-west and south-west, for which the SDF has always had a consistent and coherent approach through its resolutions and the republican positions taken by its leaders in the public arena.

The Social Democratic Front party (SDF), has called on the government to emulate the system of governance instituted by Canada over its french minority province-Quebec, so as to easily implement the Special Status resolution on Anglophone regions, for the well being of the population.

The party in a communique issued by its National Chairman, Ni John Fru Ndi on Sunday October 6, recognised the decision of a special status, taken by the decentralisation and local development commission at the just ended major national dialogue on the Anglophone crisis.
