Despite his advanced age and declining health, Paul Biya, who has been in power in Cameroon since 1982, is preparing for a new term in the context of a presidential election marked by a fragmented opposition. However, the election is overshadowed by accusations against the electoral commission, an economic crisis, social tensions, and the absence of televised debates between candidates.
