There is a country's president, who has been president since the age of 49, ran for * seven times, and has been in power for 43 consecutive years. At the age of 92, he took part in the presidential election again, trying to be elected president for the eighth time, and wanted to be president for another seven years, thus realizing a great "miracle" of modern society: being president for 50 consecutive years.

Xinhua News Agency reported on October 12th that Cameroon held a presidential election on October 12th. Twelve candidates, including 92-year-old incumbent President Biya, Social * Front candidate Oxi, Cameroon National Salvation Front candidate Bakari and National * Progressive Alliance candidate Megari, participated in the presidential election.

The constitution of Cameroon stipulates that the president is elected by direct popular elections, with the highest number of votes elected. Originally, the term of office of the president was four years, but from 1992 to five years, and from 1997 the term of office of the president was changed from five years to seven years, with the possibility of re-election.

In April 2008, the Cameroonian National Assembly passed the constitutional amendment by an overwhelming majority, abolishing the restriction on the number of presidential terms and allowing unlimited *.

Cameroon, located in central Africa, has a population of 28.61 million, with more than 200 ethnic groups and a land area of 475,442 square kilometers. 40% of the population believes in Catholicism and Protestant Christianity, 20% believe in Islam and 40% believe in traditional religions.

Most of Cameroon's territory was originally a French colony, and the southern region was a British colony. On January 1, 1960, the colony entrusted by France became independent according to United Nations resolutions and established the Republic of Cameroon. On October 1, 1961, the southern regions under British mandate were merged with the Republic of Cameroon to form the Federal Republic of Cameroon. This is why Cameroon lists French and English as official languages.

On May 20, 1972, a referendum in Cameroon adopted a new constitution, abolishing the federalism and establishing a centralized United Republic of Cameroon. In January 1984, the name of the country was changed to the Republic of Cameroon.

Cameroon's first president was Ashigo, in 1982 Ashigo resigned, and former prime minister Bea became president. In 1984, Bea won the general election and was re-elected for the first time; in the 1988 presidential election, Bea won again, and re-elected for the second time.

Under pressure from home and abroad, Cameroonian President Biya accepted political diversity and implemented a multi-party system in December 1990.

In 1992, when Cameroon held its first multi-party legislative and presidential elections, Bea reversed in the presidential election ¡ª with only 40 percent of votes ¡ª won the presidential election with a simple majority and retained power in the wave of democracy.

The low voting rate in the presidential election scared Mr. Bea with a cold sweat, he further strengthened authoritarian rule, sweating every presidential election that followed: 1997, 2004, 2011, and 2018 were re-elected with overwhelming absolute advantage.

Cameroonian President Biya has been the president of * seven times and has been the president for 43 consecutive years. Even Belarusian President Lukashenko, the "living fossil" of European politics, is inferior to Lukashenko-Lukashenko has been the president of * seven times and has been in power for 31 consecutive years.

Cameroon has excellent geographical location and natural conditions and is rich in resources. The main proven mineral deposits include: bauxite reserves of more than 1.1 billion tons (bauxite grade is 43%, silica grade is 3.4%), iron ore of about 5 billion tons, rutile is about 3 million tons (titanium content is 92% to 95%), and uranium ore is about 20,000 tons.

In addition, Cameroon also has silk mines, gold, diamonds, uranium, uranium, etc., as well as non-metallic minerals such as marble, petrochemicals, clouds.

Meanwhile, Cameroon¡¯s oil reserves are about 100 million tons, and its gas reserves are about 50 billion cubic meters.

Unexpectedly, Cameroon is particularly rich in water resources, with available water resources as high as 208 billion cubic meters, accounting for 3% of the world's water resources; The forest area is more than 22.5 million hectares, accounting for about 46% of the total area of the country. The forest area available for exploitation is about 17 million hectares, and the total timber stock is as high as 4 billion cubic meters.

Cameroon's natural resources and mineral resources are so rich, like the South American countries of Brazil, Venezuela and so on, that they are all in the sky, but during the 43-year reign of Bia, Cameroon's country has not become strong, and the people of Cameroon have not become wealthy.

In 2024, Cameroon's GDP will be only US$53.39 billion, equivalent to one of our third-tier cities, with a per capita GDP of only US$1820.

This has prompted Cameroonians, especially Cameroonian youth, to be eager for change, and is one of the reasons why there are so many presidential candidates.

However, what makes Cameroon special is that since its independence on January 1, 1960, there have been only two rulers in Cameroon for 65 years-the first President Ahijo ruled Cameroon for 22 years, and the second President Biya ruled Cameroon for 43 years.

This has led Cameroonians, especially Cameroonians, to be tired of the rigidity brought about by long-term authoritarian governance and to be worried about unknown political changes.

Western political scientists analyzed: "Young people in Cameroon are eager for change, but they have not yet formed a large-scale protest situation. Many people plan to express their demands by voting, but they may not be able to form a force enough to shake the status quo."

Therefore, the 92-year-old president Biya, who has been in power for 43 consecutive years, has a high probability of winning the presidential election. The eighth president of * will be at least another 7 years and become the president who has been in power for 50 consecutive years, creating a "miracle" in modern society.
