Cameroon's President Paul Biya has secured a seventh term in office, winning 71.3% of the vote in an election overshadowed by violence and low turnout. The announcement of his victory was made under tight security, with riot police and security forces deployed in major cities. Opposition leaders were prevented from protesting the election results, which they claim were rigged. The election saw particularly low participation in the north and southwest regions due to violence between security forces and armed separatists. Biya's long rule has been criticized for human rights abuses, especially towards the Anglophone minority. Amnesty International reported significant security incidents and civilian deaths this year due to the conflict between separatists and government forces.

Cameroon's President Paul Biya has secured a seventh term in office, winning 71.3 percent of the vote in an election that was overshadowed by violence and a low voter turnout. The election results were announced under heavy security in major cities, including the capital, Yaounde. Opposition leaders, who had planned protests to call for the annulment of the polls, were prevented from leaving their homes by security forces. The election has been criticized by opposition candidates and rights groups, with allegations of vote-rigging and human rights abuses, particularly in the English-speaking regions of the country. These regions have seen escalating violence between security forces and armed separatists, with Amnesty International reporting 400 civilian deaths since January due to the conflict.
