00:00Protesters face off with police after Cameroon's President Paul Biya won an

00:05eighth term on Monday. At 92, he's the world's oldest serving ruler.

00:10But the main opposition challenger has also claimed victory. On the streets of Douala,

00:17his supporters say the vote was rigged, which the government denies.

00:20The Cameroonian people, the youth of Cameroon, are demanding their victory by majority votes.

00:28We all know that Cameroon, the people, voted overwhelmingly for Issa Chiroma Bakari.

00:33Biya won 54% of the vote against 35% for Chiroma, his former ally, the Constitutional Council

00:42said. If he serves the full term, Biya could be in power until he's nearly 100.

00:48After the results were announced, Chiroma wrote on Facebook that two people were killed after

00:53shots were fired at civilians outside his home in the northern city of Garoua. He did not

00:58say who had fired the shots. Reuters could not confirm independently what happened.

01:04Biya has tightened control since transitioning from Prime Minister to President 43 years ago.

01:09Over the decades, he's survived political turmoil and gradually introduced economic reforms.

01:15Opposition protesters have clashed with security forces repeatedly over the past week after partial

01:21results suggested Biya was on course to win again. There was no immediate comment on the

01:26results of this election from the government.
