Cameroonian President Paul Biya, who at 92 is the world’s oldest serving leader, was sworn in for an eighth term following his victory in last month’s disputed elections.
The inauguration ceremony was held in the National Assembly in the capital, Yaounde. Biya is set to rule the central African nation until the age of 99 if he serves out his current tenure.
