Rwanda’s incumbent president, Paul Kagame
has won a landslide victory in the country’s presidential elections,
granting him a third term in office and extending his 17 years in power.
According to the National Electoral Commission’s Executive secretary, Charles Munyaneza,
the 59-year-old former guerrilla leader secured 98.66 percent, ‘we
expect that even if we get 100 percent of
votes, there will not be any
change,” he said.
So far, Kagame has won international praise for presiding over a
peaceful and rapid economic recovery in the east African nation since
the 1994 genocide, when an estimated 800,000 people were killed.
