Cameroon prepares for presidential elections on October 12 amid rising political tensions and declared candidates challenging long-time leader Paul Biya’s rule.
Cameroon’s presidential election is set for October 12, following a decree signed by President Paul Biya on Friday.
Biya, 92, who has ruled since 1982, has not yet confirmed whether he will run again. Constitutional reforms in 2008 removed presidential term limits, allowing him to seek additional terms.
In the 2018 election, Biya secured 71.28% of the vote according to official results.
With the election date confirmed, political parties are mobilizing. Several candidates have already announced their intention to run, including former Communication Minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who resigned last month.
