Cameroon’s Paul Biya: World’s oldest president is the favourite as he seeks an eighth term

At 92 years old, Cameroon's President Paul Biya—already the world's longest-serving leader—is gunning for an eighth term in October’s election. Despite widespread poverty, corruption claims, and even some grumbling within his own party, he remains the clear frontrunner. It’s a staggering political feat (or maybe a red flag, depending on who you ask) for a man who’s been in power since 1982.
