The President of Cameroon, Paul Biya, has started his electoral campaign for an eighth term at 92 years old, promising to address security issues and youth unemployment. During a rally in Maroua, he acknowledged the challenges facing the country, including Boko Haram attacks and endemic corruption. Biya, who has been absent from the campaign, has a high chance of winning, considering the division of the opposition and the exclusion of his main rival. Criticism regarding his age and ability to lead persists, but he remains a dominant figure in Cameroonian politics.
