00:00At a polling station in the capital, Yaoundé, young voters showed up early.

00:07Many of them expressed frustration with the current leadership in the country.

00:12The election could extend 92-year-old President Paul Biya's nearly half a century hold on to power in the Central African country.

00:22What I am hoping for is that we solve the problems of corruption, governance and then employment.

00:28Because there are no jobs in Cameroon.

00:30It's difficult for me, a young student, to hope for a future if graduates cannot find jobs.

00:37For me, the most important thing is a solution on the employment sector.

00:43Twelve candidates are on the ballot, though two withdrew their candidacy to throw support behind other candidates.

01:07He was declared the winner of seven subsequent elections.

01:10What I expect from the next president is to ensure that Cameroon returns to the way it was before.

01:19Because we have lost a lot in Cameroon, and truly, there is no justice.

01:23There is not a single person to defend human rights.

01:26In the event of injustice, there really isn't any in Cameroon.

01:30We, the people of Cameroon, are discouraged by all this.

01:33And then young, graduates with degrees, make the back, or master's degrees, cannot find work.
