The 92-year-old President Wins the eighth term

Cameroon’s 92-year-old president has won an eight-night term, in contested elections.

Paul BIYA, who is the oldest head of state in the world, won 53.7% of the votes, compared to 35.2% of the opposition leader Issa Tchiroma Bakary, the constitutional council announced.

Before the announcement, Tchiroma Bakary – who was a member of biya ally – was pressed to get the election, but the Democratic Party of Cameroon rejected his claim.

The election, held on October 12, has been marred by deadly violence, and in recent days, hundreds of supporters of Tchiloma Bakary have defied protests in many cities, and clashed with security forces.

Biya thanked the voters for trusting him again.

“I sincerely hope that, together, we firmly commit to building peaceful, united and prosperous communities,” the statement said.

On Sunday, at least four people were killed during protests in Cameroon’s Economic Capital of Douala.

The governor of the region, Samuel DieudonNé Diboua, said that the police post had been attacked and defended by the security forces.

The development continued on Monday, when several people were shot dead near Tchiloma Bakary’s residence in the town of Garnoua, a local journalist at the scene told the BBC.

Almost at the same time, the opposition leader wrote on Facebook that the shots were fired and residents gathered outside his house. He later said that snipers had been set up in his house across from him, and were ‘shooting at point-blank range’.

Authorities have not commented on the reports.

Protesters have been denouncing what they said was a plan by the ruling CPDM, to “steal victory” from ThiRoma Bakary.

The situation is so tense in the capital, Yaoundé, that almost all shops and schools remain closed, while most of the servants and office workers stayed at home.

In all, 10 of those elected were working in the office of the President, including Prime Minister Bello Bouba Maigari.

Voter Turnout was 58%.

At least 10 petitions alleging electoral fraud have been rejected by the Constitutional Council.

Residents in Yaoundé have been voicing their opinions on BIYA’s controversial victory.

“We are at the end of another difficult night,” AmingA Nikodemus told the BBC.

“The economy is slowing down, the illusion is over, many things are going well.”

Another resident, Abolo Denis, urged Cameroonians to accept the result, saying that peace is very important.

“The first thing that affects me, after announcing the results, is the silence – the graves are silent,” said Vivian Muma, north of the town of Bamenda.

“Silence shows everything. Cameroonians decide, but they [make] Decisions, they decide otherwise,” he said.

The ruling party has acknowledged Biya’s victory “under the sign of greatness and hope” in the online fight.

Biya, who came to power in 1982, is rarely seen in public and is known to spend time outside of Africa in Swiss hotels. These things that are not long in line with his age, in the past, in the past, led to rumors that he was dead.

While his leadership has been praised for the expansion of public schools and universities, his management of the Bakassi conflict – which saw the oil-rich peninsula handed over to Cameroon instead of Nigeria instead of Nigeria instead of criticism.

A violent separatist regime in the English-speaking west has been running for nearly a decade, unemployment hovers at 40%, roads and hospitals, and freedom of speech are limited.

Analysts have warned in recent days that a peaceful country, a peaceful country, could enter political chaos if the election results did not reflect the will of the people.

“Biya now has a great deal of power given to him by the majority of his citizens who do not believe that he won the election,” the Director of the Africa Program at the International Crisis Group, said in a statement.

“We call on Biya to urgently initiate national mediation to prevent further escalation,” he added.
