Police in Cameroon have fired teargas to disperse hundreds of people who gathered on Sunday to support the country’s opposition candidate Issa Bakary, who claims he won the recent presidential elections.
Recall that Cameroon had it’s presidential election on the 12th of October 2025 and the Constitutional Council is due to announce the results this Monday, but authorities have banned gatherings until then.
Most analysts expect 92 year old incumbent, Paul Biya, to win an eighth term, but opposition, Tchiroma says he won 54.8 percent of the vote.
Since the election, dozens of supporters have gathered around the home of Tchiroma, who has been calling on his supporters to engage in peaceful protests.
