Paul Biya, the 92-year-old incumbent who has been president of Cameroon since 1982, is running for reelection in the country's 2025 presidential election amid a fragmented opposition (Africa Center for Strategic Studies, Deutsche Welle, Crux). In 2024, Cameroon's parliament extended its term, thereby postponing legislative elections from March 2025 to March 2026 (AOL [Reuters], Deutsche Welle). An independent endorsed by a political party counts as a candidate of that political party. As of the launch of this question, the next Cameroonian presidential election was scheduled for 5 October 2025 (Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa). The question will close early if the presidential election is canceled or postponed to a date after 31 October 2025.
