Cameroon’s opposition criticize tenure extension for lawmakers

Cameroon opposition and civil society leaders say a law passed Tuesday to extend lawmakers’ mandates by a year is a ploy by President Paul Biya. They say the goal is to eliminate opposition leaders who planned to take part in the elections to qualify as candidates for the country's 2025 presidential polls. But the government argues a lack of funds makes it impossible to organize elections as planned. Moki Edwin Kindzeka reports from Yaounde, Cameroon
