Cameroon awaits election results while Paul Biwi is looking for an eighth mandate

Currently, the votes are being counted after the Sunday presidential election, in which the acting gender is striving to extend his 43 years in power.

Best, who is 92 in the world at 92, is challenged by nine candidates. If he wins, it will be his eighth consecutive office, and the next election must be due in 2032.

Interior Minister Paul Atanga NJI said the vote took place “without quarrel” throughout the country. But there was a call for a boycott in the English -language regions in the West and there were reports of clashes in the north.

The end result should be known within 15 days after the vote.

At the beginning of the election, there were complaints about the opposition of attempts to suppress their support.

In August, the Constitutional Council banned 71-year-old Maurice Kamto, widely regarded as a major competitor, to participate.

On Sunday, the angry supporters of the leading candidate for opposition and former Bijiroma Bakari ally, 76 -year -old, took to the streets in their fortress Garua. They were confronted with the security forces that fired tear gas after his stay was fenced.

Earlier during the day, the charm had said he was subject to threats.

“No cirrium is the problem, he told reporters, adding that he” was put under the protection of God and the Cameroonian people. “

“I am home at home; I will not move. If they intend to come and take me out of the home, I will not move,” he said.

Despite this interior minister, NJI said the polls had been conducted without major incidents in all 10 regions of the country.

He did not comment on the situation in Garua, but rather repeated previous allegations that some presidential candidates plan to publish the election results before the official declaration.

NJI described this as a major red line threatening a claim against anyone suspected of breaking the law.

In the two resource Anglophone regions, where separatists tried to prevent residents from voting, some turned out to be the polling stations. But many others were far from fear of repression.
