Kagame Leads in Fourth Term Election

News summary

Rwanda's President Paul Kagame is set to secure a fourth term, leading with 99.15% of the vote from partial results, according to the National Electoral Commission. The election saw a high voter turnout of 98%, with Kagame's challengers, Frank Habineza and Philippe Mpayimana, receiving only 0.53% and 0.32% respectively. The election has been criticized for lack of genuine competition, as several prominent opposition figures were barred from running. Kagame, who has ruled since the end of the 1994 genocide, is praised for Rwanda's economic growth and stability but condemned for political repression and media suppression. Final results are expected by July 27. Kagame's continued rule aligns with constitutional changes that could allow him to remain in office until 2034.
