Cameroon President, Paul Biya To Contest Again At 93 by Newlymarried(op): 12:44am On Aug 23, 2024

President Paul Biya of Cameroon is set to contest the country's presidential election again at the age of 93.

Biya, who is Africa's longest-serving president, is currently 91 years old.

He will contest in the 2026 Presidential Election to seek an eighth term, by which time he will be 93.

Founder of the Foreign Press Association Africa, Kennedy Wandera disclosed this Thursday, August 22, citing TheEastAfrican.

The report read: "Cameroon is due to hold its next presidential election in 2025, longtime President Paul Biya will be 93. He has confirmed that he will contest.

If he wins the election, and completes the new seven-year mandate, Biya will be 100 years in 2032.

According to the report, Biya's decision to delay the election by a year (postponed from 2025 to 2026), and to allow him to contest despite his age, has angered the opposition in Cameroon.

The report stated that opposition politicians may not be allowed to contest, leaving Biya free to win again and serve for 7 years.

Biya has served as the President for 42 years since 1982. He also served as the Prime Minister for 7 years from 1975 to 1982 before then. He postponed the Parliamentary and Municipal elections until 2026.

"Cameroon's parliament last month approved Biya's request to postpone parliamentary and Municipal elections until 2026 to allow some breathing space, claiming that the political calendar is crowded," the report said.

Yep.

27 million population.

But you would think their military would have the balls to kick him out somehow.

I wouldn't mind so much if he was actually transforming the country, like Paul Kagame in Rwanda.

But the country is just stuck on neutral.

Just imagine this is Africa. Since 1984 someone have been lording it over a nation as if it is a monarchical govt. This is time for the citizens of Cameroon to kick out this useless and corrupt old geriatric fool.

8 years is more than enough to destroy any country. E.g in 1 year of tinubu

See how you reason like a disgusting, cretinous slave.

The other day Vladimir Putin woke up one morning and began raining down bombs on his neighbouring country, slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.

Did that make you look down on white people and think they ''are not human beings like you''?

NO IT DIDN'T.

Have you heard of Adolf Hitler?

He just woke up one day and marched 6 million of his countrymen, women and children into gas chambers where they choked to death.

Does that make you think white people ''are not human beings like you''?

NO IT DOES NOT.

What is worse, a leader staying in power till he is 90 or a leader who marches 6 million of his compatriots into gas chambers?

Lesson:

Get rid of your racial inferiority complex.

It's a mental disease.
