Cameroonians began voting on Sunday in a presidential election where incumbent Paul Biya, the world’s oldest ruler at 92, is bidding to maintain his 43-year grip on power.
Biya’s opponents include former government spokesperson Issa Tchiroma, 76, who has drawn large crowds demanding an end to the veteran leader’s long tenure.
Tchiroma’s bid has drawn endorsements from a platform of some opposition parties and civic groups.
Voting started at 0700 GMT and ends at 1700 GMT, with results expected within 15 days.
Just over 8 million people have registered to vote.
