Cameroon opposition leader banned from challenging world's oldest president

Cameroon opposition leader, Maurice Kamto, banned from challenging 92-year-old President Paul Biya, the world's oldest president, in the upcoming election. Kamto came second in the 2018 elections amid fraud allegations, but has been excluded from the list of candidates for the presidential election on 12 October. President Biya, seeking an eighth term, will face challenges from former allies, Issa Tchiroma Bakary and Bello Bouba Maigari, with Kamto's exclusion due to party registration issues.
