Yaoundé, September 28 (Xinhua) — The presidential race officially began in Cameroon on Saturday. Twelve candidates, including one woman, are vying for the country's highest office.
The campaign will last two weeks and will culminate with the presidential elections on October 12.
Incumbent President Paul Biya, leader of the ruling Cameroon People's Democratic Movement, is seeking to win another seven-year term to extend his 43-year rule.
Joshua Osih, a candidate for the leading opposition Social Democratic Front, has launched his campaign in Bamenda, the main city in the English-speaking North-West region, which has been plagued by armed conflict involving separatists since 2017.
Separatist militants have imposed a month-long lockdown to disrupt elections in the war-torn English-speaking Northwest and Southwest regions, where they seek to establish an independent state.
