Social media revamp by 92-year-old president struggles to woo young Cameroonians
Cameroon's 92-year-old President Paul Biya is increasing his social media presence to attract young voters ahead of the upcoming election. Despite daily posts on Facebook and Twitter, many young Cameroonians are not swayed, as they primarily use WhatsApp where presidential communication is lacking. Biya's focus on past accomplishments rather than addressing current issues such as high unemployment and corruption has led to skepticism among young voters, who are seeking concrete action and change.
