00:00Cameroonian opposition leader Maurice Campto is challenging his disqualification from October's

00:06presidential election, filing an appeal on Monday with the country's Constitutional

00:11Council. Last week, Campto, who was runner-up to incumbent Paul Beer in 2018, was barred

00:17from this year's election by Cameroon's electoral oversight body, Elicam. Elicam cited the

00:24fact that Manadem, the party Campto represents, has already submitted a candidate for the

00:292025 vote. Campto's supporters, however, are crying foul, pointing out that other parties

00:36are also running multiple candidates without pushback from Elicam. Campto is widely seen

00:43as the main challenger to 92-year-old President Beer, the world's oldest serving head of state

00:48who's ruled Cameroon since 1982.
