Oct. 27 (UPI) -- The world's oldest president, Paul Biya, was elected Cameroon's leader again, a title he's held since 1992.
Biya is 92, and at the end of his term will be 99 years old. The median age in Cameroon is 18.9. For contrast, the median age in the United States is 38.7.
According to Cameroon's constitutional council, Biya won 53.66% of the vote. His challenger Issa Tchiroma Bakary won 35.19%.
But Tchiroma Bakary is claiming victory. Two days after the Oct. 12 election, Tchiroma Bakary said he won, publishing a tally that said he had 54.8% of the vote. His team claimed that they collected results from 80% of the electorate.
