Cameroon’s 91-Year-Old President Paul Biya to Seek Eighth Term in 2025 Presidential Election

At 91 years old, Biya is one of the world’s oldest and longest-serving leaders, having held the presidency since 1982. Before ascending to the highest office, Biya served as the country’s Prime Minister for seven years, from 1975 to 1982, under then-President Ahmadou Ahidjo.
