 The protest was dispersed by security forces, and Kodock, along with the other party leaders, was detained for five hours.According to Kodock, the Observatory's neutrality was doubtful because its members were all appointed by President Biya.In the June 2002 parliamentary election, Kodock was again re-elected to the National Assembly from Nyong-et-Kelle constituency; the UPC list of three candidates in Nyong-et-Kelle received a narrow majority over the RDPC, with 50.80% of the vote.
