The Cameroonian president, Paul Biya wins re-election bid with 71% of the vote, the constitutional council has announced, extending his 36-year rule and cementing his place as one of Africa’s longest-serving rulers.

The widely-expected win, announced on Monday, gives the 85-year-old a seventh term in office and could see him in power until at least the age of 92. The only current African president to have ruled longer is Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.
Most Cameroonians have known just one president.

Victory in the 7 October election came amid claims from opposition candidates that the election was marred by fraud, including ballot stuffing and voter intimidation. The constitutional council rejected all 18 petitions claiming fraud last week.

In addition, violence connected to a separatist movement in the western anglophone regions forced tens of thousands to flee in the lead-up to the vote, and kept the vast majority there from casting their ballot.

The announcement follows two weeks of political tension in the coffee and oil-producing country, during which Biya’s leading rival Maurice Kamto claimed victory based on his campaign’s figures, and as police tried to silence opposition marches in the port city of Douala.

Monday’s official results showed Kamto won 14% of the vote. Biya won with a big margin in nine of the 10 regions. In the South and East regions he won over 90% of the vote.

Authorities have defended the process.

“The election was free, fair and credible in spite of the security challenges in the English-speaking regions,” said the president of constitutional council, Clement Atangana, on Monday.

Why is it that Africans prefer old men to rule them?

Wow...so PMB will only be closer to age 80 if he wins second term.

Africa is indeed a funny place, why wasting resources on elections ?

NEVER AGAIN!..

Smh. This wicked old man just wants to die there. Selfish man.

France's puppet.
Hence Macron, the poster boy for European neocolonialism will say nothing.

To me if he is doing his job very well I don't care his age.....

Cameroonians will never wise up
They are so dull to the extent of giving this man of 85years another chance to push them into cana
I wonder why they don't represent Africa anymore in the world cup
Mcheew

............and they say Buhari is old.....

To be an African is not a choice but a curse.

Continueee. All I know is that, you can't win death

.
this one go rule enter 150 years

At this age I will gladly be his vice. If you know you know. But what is wrong with African leaders and power.

The same way our youths here are trying to bring back old buhari and Atiku..God give them brain. #Sowore2019

black are better in take people as slave forever than white

Remain Our Baba Buhari comes 2019. The greatest Nigerian president in history.

I see comments saying why do we like old men to rule over us in Africa, I laughing in anger.
Most of the people making those statements are either supporting Atiku or Buhari who are old men.
Who is fooling who?
Talking about hypocrites, Nigeria is a case study...SMH.

AFRICANS HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT WE'VE REFUSED TO ADMIT AND THAT'S THE FACT THAT WE PREFER TO BE BEHIND IN WISDOM

delugajackson:
Africa is cursed.

Over here in Nigeria, some zombies are still championing the return of the dead. This backward mentality is what is keeping us many light years behind the whites. Truly, there is something fundamentally wrong with the Black man.

I agree with you 100% there is something wrong with us black all over the world.
