Kagame Secures Dominant Victory Amidst Restricted Opposition in Rwanda
TL;DR Summary
Rwandan President Paul Kagame has won 99% of the vote in the recent presidential election, extending his nearly three-decade rule. The election, which saw his opponents receive less than 1% of the vote, was marked by allegations of human rights abuses and suppression of dissent. Kagame, who has been in power since the end of the 1994 genocide, could potentially remain in office until 2034 following changes to term limits.
