Polls opened in Cameroon on Sunday in an election that could see incumbent Paul Biya secure an eighth consecutive term to lead the Central African nation.
Around 8 million voters, including over 34,000 overseas, are registered to participate at more than 31,000 polling stations in the Central African nation. Cameroon had over 29 million people in 2024, and like many sub-Saharan African countries, its population is overwhelmingly young.
Polls are expected to close at 6 p.m., and the results are expected at the latest by Oct. 26.
