Cameroon’s 92-year-old President Paul Biya has announced he will run for re-election in October, aiming to extend his 43-year rule, according to BBC.
In a post on X, Biya said his decision followed calls from across the country and the diaspora. His long leadership has faced criticism over corruption, insecurity, and concerns about his health.
His bid comes amid political cracks, with former allies turning rivals, and multiple opposition figures already in the race. Biya removed term limits in 2008 and has never lost an election, BBC reported.
