Despite his long tenure, Biya's administration has faced serious allegations concerning corruption, poor governance, and social strife. His health has also raised concerns, particularly following an extended absence from public life, which led to speculation regarding his condition. As Biya prepares for yet another election, the political landscape grows increasingly competitive, with notable figures from previous administrations and major opposition leaders declaring their candidacies.
While Biya's party, the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement, continues to support him, there is mounting pressure from various factions within the country for fresh leadership. The last election in 2018, where Biya secured over 71% of the vote, was marred by claims of significant irregularities.
In a context where calls for renewal and accountability are intensifying, Biya's determination to remain in power will undoubtedly shape the political discourse in Cameroon as election day approaches.

In the upcoming elections, the future direction of Cameroon will hinge on Voter sentiment around Biya's lengthy rule and the emergence of challengers pledging reform.
