Rwanda’s President Kagame on course for a landslide victory
Preliminary results from Monday’s presidential election in Rwanda show that incumbent President Paul Kagame has gained 99 percent of the votes counted. The National Electoral Commission (NEC) says Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party received 0.53 percent, while independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana received 0.32 percent. President Kagame has ruled Rwanda since 2000. VOA’s Nairobi Bureau Chief Mariama Diallo is in Rwanda covering the election. She tells VOA’s James Butty that voting was generally peaceful.
