Cameroon: Biya leads in vote count, government says
14.10.2004
President Paul Biya's early lead in Cameroon's presidential election has not come as a surprise. Biya has ruled Cameroon for the past 22 years and opposition parties have accused him of resorting to massive fraud in order to win a further seven-year term. While only 4.6 million of Cameroon's 16 million population made it onto the electoral roll on Monday, there have been numerous reports of individuals casting several votes each.
