Can the world's oldest president keep his title and woo a nation of young voters?
92-year-old Paul Biya, the world's oldest president, seeks an eighth term in Cameroon's presidential election amid criticism for his long rule since 1982. Biya aims to appeal to young voters and women in a country where over 60% of the population is under 25, focusing on youth unemployment and social challenges. Despite controversy over opposition candidates and regional conflicts in English-speaking areas, Biya faces a divided opposition as he seeks to continue his decades-long hold on power.
