Rwanda Presidential Campaign Underway with Incumbent Paul Kagame

Rwandan President Paul Kagame has launched his campaign for the upcoming presidential and legislative elections, aiming for a fourth term in office. The election will see Kagame facing opposition from Frank Habineza of the Green Party and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana. Despite Kagame's efforts to highlight development and inclusivity in his politics, concerns over rights abuses and political repression persist. Notably, two prominent opposition candidates have been barred from running, raising questions about the democratic process in Rwanda. With campaigning underway, the elections are scheduled for July 15, with millions of registered voters expected to participate.
