Egypt's Mohammed Salah's photo appears in Cameroon voter register

Egypt and Liverpool winger Mohammed Salah’s photo has shockingly appeared in the Cameroon voter register.

Reports suggest Mohammed Salah’s photo appears in the Cameroon voter register at the Ngaoundere III polling station.

The news was further verified on the official website of ELECAM, Cameroon’s electoral management body.

The name used, along with Mohammed Salah’s picture, matches the first letters of the “AZERTY” keyboard.

The incident has sparked widespread social media commentary, with some users reacting humorously while others have raised concerns about electoral fraud and the reliability of the voter register.

ELECAM has not yet issued an official statement on the matter, as vote counting continues for the election in which 12 candidates are challenging the incumbent president.

Several media outlets that fact-checked the development confirmed that the Liverpool striker’s image is indeed listed as a voter in the polling station.

Meanwhile, incumbent Paul Biya won the last presidential election in October 2018, winning with 71% of the vote amid allegations of fraud and protests.

Cameroon began counting votes after a presidential election on Sunday.

Paul Biya, the world’s oldest ruler at 92, is expected to extend his 43-year grip on power despite an energised opposition pushing for change.

Over 8 million Cameroonians registered to vote Per the country’s constitution, the electoral commission is expected to announce provisional results within 15 days.

“Nothing is given. Let’s wait and see. Let’s wait for the name of the winner,” Biya told journalists after voting.

Francois Conradie, lead political economist at Oxford Economics, stated, “A surprise is still possible, but a divided opposition and the backing of a formidable electoral machine will, we predict, give the 92-year-old his eighth term”.

“Although we think he isn’t very aware of what is going on, it seems that the machine he built will divide to rule one last time, “Conradie added in a note.

“I want to see change, improvement, maybe a new face. I’m 43 years old. I’ve never known another president,” said Magdalene Tientcheu, who lives in Douala, Cameroon’s business hub. “I hope for that. I voted for a new face”.
