Cameroon (AP) - Cameroonian authorities have arrested 20 people who were protesting an election they allege was stolen by long-serving President Paul Biya.
The protesters claim Maurice Kamto, the flag bearer of the Cameroon Renaissance Movement party, won the Oct. 7 presidential election.
Biya, who has led the country since 1982, is to be sworn into office Tuesday for a seventh term. Kamto's supporters say they plan to disrupt the event.

The United States has said the October vote was marked by irregularities.
