Paul Biya, at 92 years old, is seeking re-election in Cameroon, aiming for an unprecedented eighth consecutive term. Having been in power since 1982, Biya faces mounting criticism for his age and limited public engagement during the campaign, notably spending significant time abroad. His campaign has been marred by backlash over an AI-generated video and a lack of direct voter outreach. Young voters, who make up a large portion of the electorate, express frustration over high unemployment rates and a perceived lack of opportunities. The electoral landscape is complicated by the exclusion of prominent opposition leader Maurice Kamto, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the election. Despite these challenges, Biya continues to appeal to women and youth, promising to address their needs. Analysts predict that Biya's long-standing power and the divided opposition may lead to his continued dominance in Cameroonian politics, even as the country grapples with significant social and economic issues.
