00:00In Cameroon, voters went to the polls on Sunday in an election that could see Africa's longest-serving leader extend his rule for another seven years.
00:12Experts widely anticipate a win for the 92-year-old President Paul Beer.
00:19He cast his ballot in the capital, Yoonde, seeking a term that will see him conclude at the age of 99.
00:25Beer first rose to power in 1982 and has been declared the winner in every election since.
00:34He faces nine opposition candidates, including former allies and ministers.
00:40The vote comes as Cameroon grapples with multiple crises.
00:44In the West, as secessionist conflict rages, in the North, violence from the Boko Haram insurgency spills across the border.
00:52The nation of 29 million is predominantly young, yet the United Nations estimates that 43 percent live in poverty.
01:03With over 8 million eligible voters, the single-round election means the candidate with the most votes wins outright.
01:13Polls close at 6 p.m. local time.
01:16Official results are expected in October 26th.
01:22Videos won't stop.
