<p>Protests have erupted across Cameroon following the announcement of President Paul Biya&#8217;s re-election, with security forces and citizens clashing.</p>
<p>Reports from eyewitnesses disclosed that soldiers and police fired tear gas to disperse crowds in Yaoundé and other major cities.</p>
<p>In response, demonstrators hurled stones and barricaded roads, demanding transparency and a review of the vote count.</p><div class="IBMqHFgd" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The unrest comes hours after the Constitutional Council declared Biya, 92, winner of the 2025 presidential election with 53.66% of the vote. Tchiroma, who secured strong support among diaspora voters, received 35.19% nationally.</p>

<p>He added that in Yaoundé described the situation as “tense but widespread,” noting that protests were ongoing in nearly all urban centres.</p>
<p>As at the time of filing this report, authorities have yet to issue a formal statement on the clashes, and as well restore normalcy to Yaoundé.</p>
<p>At 92, Biya remains the world’s oldest serving head of state and is now set to govern until 2032.</p>
<p>Despite strong support for Tchiroma among Cameroonian diaspora communities, Biya’s domestic lead proved decisive.</p>
<p>Voters across Europe gave Tchiroma 62.79% of their ballots, while Biya received just 22.63%.</p>
<p>In the Americas, Tchiroma secured 66.75%, and in Asia and the Middle East, he earned 68.21%. Across Africa, Tchiroma also led with 54.99% of the diaspora vote, although more than half of eligible voters reportedly abstained.</p>
<p>The Constitutional Council emphasised that the winner is determined by the total number of votes cast across the electorate, not regional or diaspora tallies.</p>
<p>Biya’s victory comes amid growing calls for political transition in Cameroon, where critics have long accused the ruling party of stifling opposition and manipulating electoral processes.</p>
<p>However, the government maintains that the elections were free and fair.</p>
<p>With this win, Biya is expected to continue his leadership until the age of 99, barring any constitutional changes or unforeseen developments.</p>
