Cameroon’s Constitutional Council on Monday declared 92-year-old Paul Biya the winner of the country’s highly contested presidential election, extending his decades-long rule.
Biya, who has been in power since 1982, secured a fresh seven-year mandate after polling 53.66 percent of the votes.
His closest rival, 76-year-old Issa Tchiroma, a former government spokesperson, came second with 35.19 percent.
With this victory, Biya begins his eighth consecutive term, set to govern until 2032, by which time he will be nearly 100 years old.
The result also cements his position as the world’s oldest serving president.
