As Cameroonians flocked to the polls on Sunday to vote in a presidential election, an unusual error on the register caught voters’ attention: the face of Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah at the Ngaoundéré III polling station.
Fact-checks by several media outlets confirmed the image, which was also visible on ELECAM’s official website, Cameroon’s electoral management body. The name linked to the image corresponds to the first letters of an “AZERTY” keyboard.
The error sparked widespread discussion on social media, with users both joking about the appearance and expressing concerns over the reliability of the voter register.
ELECAM has not yet issued a statement as vote counting continues across the country, where 12 candidates contested the election against Biya.
