喀麦隆92岁总统在政治挑战中寻求第八个任期
摘要
自1982年执政的保罗·比亚总统正在参加喀麦隆总统选举，争取第八个任期，面对分裂的反对派和持续的国家危机。
喀麦隆总统选举正在进行中，92岁的现任总统保罗·比亚寻求第八个任期。自1982年以来领导国家的比亚，面临包括前部长贝洛·布巴·迈加里和伊萨·奇罗马·巴卡里在内的九名反对派候选人。尽管年事已高且公开露面有限，但由于控制国家机构和反对派分裂，比亚仍然是领先者。
此次选举正值重大挑战之际，包括英语区西部的分离主义冲突和北部的博科圣地叛乱。超过43%的喀麦隆人生活在贫困中，年轻人口众多，经济机会有限。近年来选民投票率下降，持续的冲突和社会动荡加剧了这一趋势。
比亚的竞选活动低调，仅在马鲁阿举行了一次集会，并大量利用国家和社交媒体。批评者对发展停滞、失业和持续的威权统治表示不满。尽管有人寄望于变革，分析人士认为比亚成熟的政治机器和简单多数制选举制度几乎确保他获得第八个任期。
选举结果预计将在15天内公布。
