Paul Biya elected at 92 in Cameroon
Paul Biya, the 92-year-old incumbent head of state in Cameroon, has been re-elected as president. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The country's Constitutional Council announced the official results. Paul Biya received 53.66 percent of the votes and will begin another presidential term.

He first came to power in 1982 and has continuously governed the country since then. The new election results have extended his 43-year tenure in power for another term.

The main opposition candidate, Issa Chiroma Bakayiri, did not accept the election results. According to his calculations, he claimed victory and accused the government of rigging the voting process.

After the results were announced, protests began in the capital Yaoundé and other major cities. In some places, clashes occurred between police and citizens, resulting in several deaths and hundreds of arrests.

International observers warned about the lack of transparency during the election process and the use of state resources in favor of the incumbent president. Paul Biya is known as one of the longest-serving leaders in the world.

Although political stability has been maintained during his rule, young people and civil society representatives are demanding reforms, free elections, and political renewal. Experts believe that Cameroon's future political direction will depend on Paul Biya's health and to whom he transfers power.

This situation is expected to have a significant impact on the country's politics.
