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.
