On 14 October, opposition leader Issa Tchiroma claimed victory in Cameroon’s presidential election held on 12 October, urging 92-year-old incumbent President Paul Biya to concede defeat. The government has not officially responded yet, however, Minister of Territorial Administration Paul Atanga Nji warned that announcing unofficial results constitutes “high treason.” Final results are legally due by 26 October from the Constitutional Council. The situation has created an atmosphere of deep uncertainty, with fears of unrest and security crackdowns, particularly in opposition-dominated regions.
