Paul Biya, in power for 43 years, is seeking an eighth term as president of Cameroon, despite missing a campaign

President of Cameroon Paul Biya is 92 and has been in power in the West African country for 43 years, yet it is he who has the best chance of winning a new seven-year term in Sunday’s presidential elections. At the start of the campaign, Biya, the oldest head of state in the world, was not in the country, only appearing in public again five days before the elections.
