In 2018, it was the youngest among nine candidates between the ages of 38, with 6% of the voting.

Who makes Biya strongest challenge?

For many decades, President Bioya has managed to maintain a strong adherence about power, making it difficult to lose elections.

Bello Bouba Maigari and Issa Tchiroma Lawe’s decision of political weights was more difficult, but some analysts believe that they do not have significant threat to Biya.

Dr. Pippie Hugues, a political analyst from the Nkafu Policy Institute of Think-Tank in Cameroon, has argued that the current regime decreases credibility with opposition voters.

“Camerunians need more than resignation to trust in them,” BBC said. “Both have been with the system and have seen the nation suffer.”

Dr. Hugues proposed even more that the two northern candidates could be part of a political plot of staged regimes.

However, aspects of the party authorities have portrayed real fracture as real, as CPDM was first fighting to get a lot of votes from the north.

Given the exclusion of the Kams, in 2018, he was a pioneer of Biya, as the third of Libii could have its main threat this year.

Although only 6% of the vote was achieved, since Libii’s political evolution has been praised.

Its party took five seats in Parliament and to win the municipalities of seven municipalities in the 2020 legislature and in the municipal elections. From being a member of Parliament in the process, the Government challenged the issues of important policies, encouraging changes to changes in the change.

However, Dr. Hugues says that Libii’s view is opaque, which is a more persuasive candidate for a much clearer project for almost 30 million people.

“Muna has many international experiences and diplomatic nature, and that is the nation now,” he said, when he praised the five-year of lawyers’ transition plan to “continue the nation again.”

Can an opposition one?

Historically, Cameroon oppositions are mainly divided into elections, saying that analysts had a disadvantage.

Before this year’s presidency election, Bioya has talked about the need to join and harmonize strategies. With each candidate prioritize their interests, it is not clear, mostly – they would all work together, despite the risk that the President may help.

“It could be the end or aspects of political careers, if they don’t come together,” said Felix Agor Ballako civil society.

“Kamto and others must carry someone, and they must put the nation first.

Dr. Hugues match Kamto must use its influence because it must be the support of an opposition coalition because it is outside the race.

“The change is not (only) to come with him (Kamto), but changes can come through it.”

He added that the opposition coalition is possible and referred to a meeting that the opposition figure of August 2 was seen in the western region of the Western region.

Prince Michael Ekosus, the President of the United States (USDP), President (USDP), who took part in the meeting, was the goal of placing the base of the BBC “candidate consensus”.

No specific candidate has yet been named, the criteria to consider were established.

“We want a figure that will respond to the desires of the camerons, someone who is flexible, bilingual and other candidates and political actors,” said Ekosso.

In the 1992 presidential election, the Firebrand Leading Union of John Fru Fru Ndi protected the coalition of political parties and civil society organizations.

Although the only opposition candidate was not, the analysts say that the coalition was achieved by 36% of the vote.

That has never been to have ever experienced. Fru Ndi also claimed victory, but the authorities rejected allegations to vote and confirmed Biya as a winner.

Many believe that the opposition did in 1992, as Biya can have an easy presidential walk.

“Experience, human resources and the system thanks to its advantage, says Dr Huguesk.
