Cameroonian presidential election, 2011

The presidential election in Cameroon in 2011 took place in the West African Cameroon on 9 October 2011. The winner was expected to be the reigning since 1982, President Paul Biya, who was elected with officially good 77 percent of the vote in his sixth term in office. The Biya's reelection was made possible by a constitutional amendment adopted in 2008, which broke the previous limitation on the term of office of the President. His main opponent was, as in previous elections, John Fru Ndi, the fight had contributed to the early 1990s, crucial to the elimination of the one-party system. 1992 Ndi had lost only by massive electoral fraud against Biya, 2011, he was now as runner- officially ten percent of the vote. Ndi had officially reconciled before the election with Biya and was most opposition then no longer as an alternative to Biya's rule. However, be such poor performance is considered to be very credible.

The opposition doubted both the individual results and the level of voter turnout, which was estimated from individual opposition to a fraction of the specified 68 percent. Even France and the United States confirmed the complaints of the opposition about " irregularities" in the election, so electoral fraud. The General Secretary of the Social Democratic Front Ndis, Elizabeth Tamajong described the election as a "farce".

A total of 24 candidates were lined up for election, 22 of which were completely no chance and 19 received less than one percent of the vote. Seven million voters were called upon to vote. The turnout declined in comparison to the election in 2004 by 17 to 66 percent.
