Voting began on Sunday in Cameroon's presidential election, where 92-year-old President Paul Biya, world's oldest leader, is seeking an eighth term. Biya, in power since 1982, is likely to win, considering his firm control over state institutions and a fragmented opposition. He faces 11 opponents, including former minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who has drawn notable public support.
