Cameroon's opposition leader Maurice Kamto has been barred from the October 12 presidential election due to a technicality involving his party's registration. Only 13 of 83 candidates were approved, leaving incumbent Paul Biya, 92, to face two former allies. Kamto's exclusion, deemed 'arbitrary' by his party, leaves him two days to appeal. The ruling allows 92-year-old Biya, seeking an eighth term, to face a reduced field of challengers.
