Yaounde: Cameroon went to the polls on October 12, 2025, for a crucial presidential election that could see 92-year-old President Paul Biya extend his 43-year rule. Biya, who has dominated Cameroon's political landscape since 1982, is seeking an unprecedented eighth term. His long tenure has been marked by a combination of political control, economic challenges, and persistent opposition from various quarters, making this election a high-stakes contest for the nation.

President Paul Biya is the world's oldest serving head of state, and his candidacy for another term comes after the removal of presidential term limits in 2008. Biya's campaign, under the slogan “Greatness and Hope,” emphasizes continuity and stability, appealing to supporters who fear uncertainty in a transition of power.
