Presidential elections were held in Cameroon on 7 October 2018.[1] [2]
Background [ edit ]
The previous presidential elections on 9 October 2011 saw incumbent president Paul Biya elected for another seven-year term following a 2008 constitutional amendment that removed term limits, allowing Biya to run again.[3] Ambazonia . The worst of the unrest occurred in Manyu where several Western countries issued travel warnings to their citizens.[4] Social Democratic Front , a party that traditionally performs well in the English-speaking portions of the country, has been vocal in their criticism of the handling of the unrest.[5] [6]
On 15 June 2018, the BBC obtained a copy of a letter from Paul Biya to the leader of Cameroon's Senate, appearing to request that the elections be postponed until October 2019.[7] [8] [9]
Electoral system [ edit ]
