Protests erupt in Cameroon, Bolivia over alleged election fraud

Protests have erupted in both Cameroon and Bolivia following recent presidential elections amid allegations of fraud and irregularities. In Cameroon, demonstrators accused authorities of manipulating vote counts to favor longtime President Paul Biya, leading to clashes with police who used tear gas to disperse crowds in Yaounde and Douala. Meanwhile, in Bolivia, hundreds protested Rodrigo Paz's election victory, chanting "fraud" and demanding a review of voting records despite no official evidence of irregularities. Paz's win ended two decades of left-wing governance and coincides with Bolivia's worst economic crisis in 40 years. The Supreme Electoral Tribunal in Bolivia strongly denied fraud claims, urging that the term be banned in the country, while opposition supporters remain skeptical. Both situations highlight tensions around electoral transparency and public trust in the democratic process.
