Rwandan President Paul Kagame is on the verge of re-election for his fourth term in office. This, as preliminary results from Monday’s presidential election show he has gained 99.15 percent of the vote. His two opponents, Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party, received 0.53 percent, while independent candidate Philippe Mpavimana has 0.22 percent. President Kagame has ruled Rwanda since 2000.
