Paul Biya, the oldest national director of the world, said that he will run one more time to re -election in October to extend power for 43 years in October.
“I was convinced that the resolution of resting to you was consistent with the urgency of the challenge we faced,” he said.
He added that his decision to go to the eighth term came out after being called “numerous” by people from all areas of Cameroon and Diaspora.
The BIYA executive faced criticism for failing to solve corruption, embezzlement, wrong governance and security issues. There was also concern about his health and governing ability.
Last year, the absence of the public for more than six weeks led to speculation of his welfare and unfounded rumors that he died.
His candidate was expected, but he was not officially confirmed by Sunday’s social media posts.
BIYA has not lost its election since its power in 1982, and if you win another seven -year term for seven years, you can be president until you are almost 100 years old.
Inside and outside the Cameroon, we are calling from the outside of Cameroon to increase the fresh leadership of the central African country.
His candidate followed a recent political divorce with major allies in the northern regions, and in this region, he followed political divorce in the northern region, which is decisive in securing voting in previous elections.
Two of these -prominent ISSA TCHIROMA BAKARY and former Prime Minister Bello Bouba Magari recently quit the ruling alliance and announced plans to run for elections.
Last month, Tchiroma said that his BIYA administration was “damaged” public trust and switching to a rival party.
In 2018, many opposition figures, including runners Maurice IMMO, Joshua OSIH, Arere Muna and Cabral Libii, have also announced their candidates.
However, the Democratic Movement and other supporters of the rulers Cameroons have been open to BIYA publicly to find another term since last year. He was already a candidate as a party leader.
BIYA abolished the term limit in 2008, allowing the presidential position to pursue the presidential position indefinitely.
He criticized the opposition group for a wide range of irregularities, but he gained more than 71 percent votes in the 2018 election.
