Cameroons 92-year-old president Paul Biya has been re-elected for an eighth term with 53.7 of the vote, according to the Constitutional Council. His main rival, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who claimed victory based on his own tally, denounced the result and said civilians outside his home were fired upon. Protests erupted in several cities, leaving four people dead and over 100 arrested, as authorities banned public gatherings and dismissed allegations of fraud.
