Cameroon youth election 2025 , Cameroon is entering a critical moment. As the presidential election approaches in October 2025, many eyes are on its current leader, Paul Biya, who at age 92 is officially the oldest sitting head of state in the world.

What This Means

• Being in power for this long carries weight. It means deep experience—but also that many young people have grown up knowing only one president. Nation Africa+2Deutsche Welle+2

• At the same time, age often comes with questions: Is there enough space for new energy? For fresh ideas? For voices that represent the hopes, frustrations, and dreams of younger generations? Many are asking. Deutsche Welle+1

Youths — This Is Your Moment

Knowing all this (about Paul Biya’s age and tenure) is not about blame. It’s about clarity. It’s about seeing the picture as it is — so you can decide what part you want to play. Here’s what you, the young people of Cameroon, already carry:

• Energy: imaginative, brave, connected. You see what works and what doesn’t — you live both the potentials and the problems every day.

• Numbers: a large part of the population is under 25. That is strength, not just in vote, but in ideas, in cultural influence, in change.

• Innovation: in music, tech, business, social media. Youths are not waiting for solutions; many are creating them.

How You Can Use Your Strength Wisely

Here are ways to move from hope to action — in ways that are positive, peaceful, and powerful:

1. Engage with facts — educate yourself about the political process, about candidates, about how elections work. An informed citizen is strong.

2. Speak up — share your views (peacefully), use social media, participate in dialogues. Let your voice be heard.

3. Support accountability — influence through community, NGO, civil society work. Demand transparency, fairness, respect for human rights.

4. Use your vote — when you participate, you make your priorities known. Even if systems are imperfect, your vote is a tool.

A Message from One African to Another

As a brother from Nigeria, I believe that Cameroon’s next chapter can be one of renewal — where elders’ wisdom and experience meet the creativity and courage of youth. Yes, Paul Biya is old, decades in power—but every generation has its season. Yours could be that season.

You have the power to write your own story. To build institutions and cultures that value the voices of young people. To elect leaders who see your future, not just their past.

Cameroon needs you. Africa needs you. The world is watching.
Rise up, stay hopeful, remain determined — your time is coming.

• This post is not about any single candidate. It’s about empowerment, participation, and hope.

• True change is rarely sudden — it grows in daily acts, in choices, in unity
