Cameroon heads to the polls in what many see as a defining moment for one of Africa\u2019s oldest leaders and one of the continent\u2019s youngest electorates. Nearly three-quarters of the population are under 35. The 92-year-old incumbent, Paul Biya, is running again after more than 40 years in power. He says his next term would focus on improving the lives of women and young people. Other contenders include Bello Bouba Maigari. He’s the leader of the National Union for Democracy and Progress, which was once allied with Biya\u2019s governing party.<\/p>\n
