This as tensions rise over the outcome of the October 12 presidential election. Partial results reported by local media, citing the election vote tallying commission, indicate that 92-year-old President Paul Biya is poised to secure an eighth term in office. Biya’s anticipated victory may escalate tensions after his main challenger, Issa Tchiroma, a former minister and ally, claimed victory last week and warned that any other outcome could plunge the country into unrest.
