This is the oldest President in the world. His name is Paul Biya, ane makore 92. He came to power in 1982. That means Paul Biya has been ruling Cameroon for 43 years. He was Prime Minister for 7 years before assuming the presidency. That means he has actually been in power for 50 years😳😳😳😳.
His political party has been in power since 1960. That means just like Zimbabwe, Cameroon has been ruled by one party since independence. And just like ZANU PF in 1987, the ruling party of Cameroon had a "unity accord" with opposition parties in 1966, effectively turning Cameroon into a one party state. Paul Biya then renamed the ruling party to People's Democratic Movement in 1985, 3 years after taking over as president.
On October 12, Cameroon will hold a general election, and 92-year-old Paul Biya will be running for president . Its clear, he wants to die in office and will be succeeded by his son, Frank Biya. Ndokunge army isina kusimudza musoro kunge gumkum.
And yes, technically Zim has been ruled by more than 1 party on account of the MDC/ZANU GNU of 2009, except the MDC never ruled by itself, it was sharing power.And ofcourse ZANU PF had a lion's share of that power.
