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.

Africa is cursed.

Over here in Nigeria, some zombies are still championing the return of the dead. What would a forward-thinking country be doing with a lifeless, incompetent man at the helm of affairs? This backward mentality is what is keeping us many light years behind the whites. Truly, there is something fundamentally wrong with the Black man.
Keep wailing. Na you biko

Brother, don't say things like did without properly inquiring. I am a Nigeria born n raised in Cameroon and as I speak to you this president is worse than naija government put together. There is massive killing in the English Cameroon as the people have risen to oppose this tyrant. Brother, its blood , he cuts off internet, light, water and basic supplies. You can google to see the amount of Cameroon refugees in calabar. As of now he has closed all borders and my mother is still trapped there. Am sorry if my response may sound rude but its true

There's no difference between them and Biya.

I am very far from any of those and I don’t believe there is anything like a better evil. PDP and APC is same, no difference, it’s a matter of choosing between bad or bad. I just feel for my family and friends still in that mess.

None of them can salvage this country from the current mess because they were among those who took her here in the first place.

that guy does not need to rig the election. He owns the electoral commission, he owns the ballot boxes. He is not only the head of the armed forces, he is the armed forces. He has made his generals totally useless and worst , powerless,very very powerless. There is an ongoing crisis in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon of which Cameroon has 10,no elections were held in this area becos of the ongoing resistance, so how come this man won when his own French brothers are now demanding his end. The result was staged, rigging is an understatement, some weeks ago, the other aspirant Kamto was declared winner, today Paul biya is still president.

Thanks for the enlightenment but I pity people's condition over there, it will be so pathetic, God is going to save you one day may be when he dies because no hope for that country for now unless he's gone.
