BREAKING: Vote Counting Begins In Cameroon As Veteran Leader Pursues New Mandate

Cameroon began counting votes after a presidential election on Sunday in which incumbent Paul Biya, the world’s oldest ruler at 92, is widely expected to extend his 43-year grip on power despite an energised opposition pushing for change.

His opponents include former government spokesperson Issa Tchiroma, 76, who has galvanised large crowds demanding an end to Biya’s long tenure and drawn endorsements from a platform of some opposition parties and civic groups.

However, analysts say that Biya, in power since 1982, is likely to be reelected given his firm control over state institutions and the fragmented nature of an opposition field of nine candidates.
Just over 8 million Cameroonians registered to vote. Results are expected within 15 days, and there are no exit polls.

“Nothing is given. Let’s wait and see. Let’s wait for the name of the winner,” Biya told journalists after voting in the upscale Bastos neighbourhood near the presidential palace in the capital, Yaounde.

Outside, voters trickled in amid tight security around the president to cast their ballot.

“I hope it will go well, particularly for my champion,” said one voter, Patrick Mbarga Mboa, 45, declining to say who he supported. “I hope peace and tranquillity will continue in the country after the election.”

Biya’s critics are still hoping he can be ousted after decades of economic stagnation and tensions in the Central African nation of 30 million people, an oil and cocoa producer.

“This election comes at a time when the whole nation aspires for change,” Tchiroma said after voting in his hometown of Garoua in the North region.

He urged voters to remain vigilant and make sure that the results announced by the constitutional council reflect the results from ballot boxes.

In a sign of rising tensions around the election, security forces were seen firing tear gas to disperse hundreds of Tchiroma’s supporters, who tried to gather around his residence in Garoua after the area was cordoned off.
