YAOUNDE, Cameroon (AP) - Parliamentary and municipal elections are being held Sunday across Cameroon, with longtime President Paul Biya's ruling party widely expected to dominate as it has for decades.
Biya's Cameroon People's Democratic Movement holds 149 seats in the 180-seat legislature. Two opposition parties hold 27 seats and the rest are held by parties allied with the ruling party.
The last legislative and municipal ballot was held in 2002. As in 1997, opposition leaders alleged widespread fraud.
