Rwandan President Paul Kagame Seeks Fourth Term

Rwandan President Paul Kagame is poised to win a fourth term in the upcoming election, facing minimal competition from two opposition candidates. Kagame, who has been in power since 2000, is credited with Rwanda's economic recovery post-genocide, but his regime faces criticism for political suppression and alleged involvement in conflicts in neighboring countries. Despite international scrutiny and accusations of rights abuses, Kagame is expected to secure a stable leadership continuation. The election commission's exclusion of prominent opposition figures like Diane Rwigara has raised concerns about the fairness of the electoral process. With Kagame's overwhelming historical victories and limited viable opposition, the election outcome appears to lean heavily in his favor.
