Cameroon's 92-year-old president has won a controversial eighth term, in a fiercely disputed election, BBC reported.

Paul Biya, who is the world's oldest head of state, won 53.7% of the vote, compared to the 35.2% of opposition leader Issa Tchiroma Bakary, the Constitutional Council declared.

Before the announcement, Tchiroma Bakary - a former Biya ally - insisted he had won the election, but the ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) dismissed his claim.

The election, held on 12 October, has been marred with deadly violence, and in recent days, hundreds of Tchiroma Bakary's supporters have defied protest bans in several cities, and clashed with security forces, according to BBC.

If they are confirmed as belonging to a hostage, Hamas will have returned 16 of the 28 dead Israelis and foreigners it was holding before the start of a ceasefire two weeks ago, according to BBC.

US President Donald Trump has not ruled out the possibility of seeking a third term for the White House, saying he would "love to do it". 

But Trump rejected the possibility of running for vice-president in 2028 - an idea floated by some supporters as a way for him to circumvent the US constitution that bars the president from running for a third term, BBC reported.

Speaking to reporters during his trip to Asia, Trump described the idea as "too cute" and said it "wouldn't be right". 

It is unclear what method he would use to run again. Last week, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said that a "plan" was in place to secure the 79-year-old president another term, according to BBC.

Jamaica is bracing for the strongest storm of the year, with US meteorologists warning of "catastrophic and life-threatening winds, flooding, and storm surge".

The storm has already been blamed for the deaths of four people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Meteorologists warn that Melissa's slow pace means it is set to dump torrential rain on affected areas for longer, increasing the risk of deadly flooding and landslides, according to BBC.
