Zang Mba Obélé Dieudonné, head of the Departmental Permanent Delegation of the Central Committee and President of the Departmental Campaign Commission for the RDPC in Nyong-et-So’o, has built a formidable reputation in Cameroonian politics — a leader both respected for his experience and feared for his uncompromising authority.
A seasoned political tactician, Zang Mba Obélé is known for his skill in diplomacy, his ability to defuse tensions, and his talent for resolving conflicts between rival elites and families.
His speeches are marked by precision and strategic depth, and his leadership has consistently rallied support and unity around the party’s mission.
In Mbalmayo, his influence extends far beyond politics.
More than just a mayor, he is seen as a patriarch whose words hold significant weight and whose presence commands respect.
Under his leadership, the city has seen notable improvements in order and stability.
Conflicts that once divided communities have been calmed, and the ruling CPDM party remains firmly entrenched in local governance.
One of his most visible reforms has been the strict regulation of traffic in Mbalmayo.
“No one dares to park on the side of the road to pick up or drop off passengers anymore,” residents say.
Drivers are now required to use designated parking areas, a policy that has led to fewer accidents, smoother traffic flow, and a cleaner urban environment.
Despite facing political blackmail, personal attacks, and repeated attempts to unseat him, Zang Mba Obélé has remained steadfast. Through a combination of diplomacy, firmness, and wisdom, he has managed to unite competing interests, maintain order, and strengthen the city’s political landscape.
For many in Mbalmayo, he is far more than a mayor — he is the pillar of the city’s governance, a leader whose strategic mind and unyielding discipline have become synonymous with authority and stability. As long as he remains in office, discipline prevails and the CPDM’s influence continues to grow.
