Paul Biya: How World's Oldest President Holds Onto Power In Cameroon

Cameroon’s President Paul Biya is back at 92 years old and after 42 years in power. In July, he announced on X that he’ll be running again in the October elections. If he wins, it will be his eighth consecutive term, keeping him in office until he’s 99. That would make him Africa’s second-longest-serving head of state, after Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang, who’s ruled for 43 years. So, how has Biya stayed in power for so long? Known for his sharp political instincts, Biya has mastered Cameroon’s political chessboard. His strategy has combined control, timing, and the ability to weather opposition and crises. In his announcement, Biya told Cameroonians, “Rest assured that my determination to serve you is commensurate with the serious challenges facing us.” But as the 92-year-old steps into another campaign, many are asking: is this a sign of steady leadership or proof that real political change in Cameroon remains out of reach? #trtafrika #cameroonelection #africa
