Paul Biya (born Paul Barthélemy Biya'a bi Mvondo) second President of Cameroon, was the president in 2008. Biya succeeded President Ahmadou Babatoura Ahidjo, first President of Cameroon on 1982 November 6.

The position of President in Cameroon is now elected every 7 years since the enactment of the 1996 Constitution (was originally 5 years in the 1972 constitution). The original 1996 Constitution of Cameroon enforces a two-term limit on presidents, but this was amended in 2008 by the National Assembly, which caused violent protests. As a result, Biya has continued to be elected president in each election, although the position is more similar to that of a dictator.
