 PAUL BIYA CONTESTS FOR 8TH TERM AT AGE 92


The president of Cameroon, Paul Biya, may win another 7-year term in office if he wins his country's general elections on October 12.


Biya is contesting for president again after spending nearly 43 years in power and at the current age of 92. 


If he wins in October, he'll complete his 8th term at 99 and may be tempted to run again. He is already the oldest president in the world.


This follows the loss of Akere Muna from the Universe Party to disqualify Biya from contesting again at the constitutional court. Muna is one of 12 candidates contesting the vote.
