# The world’s oldest head of state, Cameroon’s president Paul Biya, is aiming to run for another term. The 92-year-old said his decision came after numerous calls by people in Cameroon. Biya has never lost an election since taking power in 1982 and if he wins an eighth seven-year term he could be president until he is nearly 100. He abolished term limits in 2008, enabling him to seek the presidency indefinitely. There have been growing calls for him to step aside and allow fresh leadership in the country.
