World’s oldest president could extend his rule as Cameroon votes in an election

YAOUNDE: Cameroon voted in an election Sunday that could see Africa’s oldest leader extend his rule by another seven years. Analysts have predicted a victory for President Paul Biya. Now 92, he would be 99 by the time his term finishes. He first came to power in 1982 following the resignation of Cameroon’s first president, Ahmadou Ahidjo, and has ruled the country since then. Biya was declared the winner of seven subsequent elections. Cameroon has seen just two leaders since independence in 1960.
