Cameroon's president reelected for sixth term
[Bangla Daily Star] Cameroon's President Paul Biya was reelected for a sixth term with about 78 percent of the votes cast in the October 9 election, the country's supreme court said Friday.

Biya, who is 78 and has been in power for 29 years, beat long-time opposition leader John Fru Ndi who took just under 11 percent of the vote. A front man for Fru Ndi's party rejected the result and vowed to challenge it.

Turnout was 66 percent, down from the 2004 election where 83 percent of eligible voters turned out; and the one in 1997, 81 percent.

#1 when you throw coins to decide on how big a margin your guy gets... you sometimes need to fudge on the size of the pool.
