The Constitutional Council in Cameroon has dismissed the requests presented to it to either cancel some results of the presidential election or cancel the entire election, stating that it will announce the results on Monday.
Protests have erupted in some major cities of the country, where the opposition alleged that fraud occurred in the October 12th election.
The judges of the Constitutional Council dismissed all eight petitions presented to them, stating that there was insufficient conclusive evidence to support them.
Opposition candidate, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, has declared himself the winner of the election, a claim contested by 92-year-old President Paul Biya, who is also seeking a seventh term.
The 76-year-old Tchiroma Bakary is a former spokesman for Biya's government, who is now seeking to take power from him.
He refused to submit his own petition to the Constitutional Council and chose to declare himself the "sitting president."
In a message posted on social media, Tchiroma Bakary said he won the election after securing 55 percent of the total votes cast.
He said, "If the Constitutional Council fails to punish the fraudster and instead chooses to support the fraudster, then it has undoubtedly deviated from the path."
Tchiroma Bakary also warned that "the people will turn their backs on them and threaten them."
President Biya's party also dismissed Tchiroma Bakary's claim of victory in the election, stating that only the Constitutional Council has the authority to announce the results.
The waiting period for the results in Cameroon has instilled fear and anxiety in the hearts of the people.
The Catholic Church also weighed in earlier this week, urging the court judges to ensure they deliver justice.
