“Cameroon’s opposition challenger Issa Tchiroma Bakary claimed election victory on Tuesday, October 14, against incumbent President Paul Biya, who has been in power for 43 years. However, official results for the weekend vote are not expected for two weeks. ‘Our victory is clear. It must be respected,’ Tchiroma declared in a post on Facebook. He urged the government to ‘accept the truth of the ballot box’ or ‘plunge the country into turmoil’ and promised to publish detailed results by region. … In the 2018 presidential election, opposition challenger Maurice Kamto declared himself the winner the day after the vote. He was subsequently arrested and his supporters’ rallies were dispersed with tear gas and water cannon, with dozens arrested.” (10/14/25)
