Study Notes

Rwanda's Presidential Election

President Paul Kagame is expected to win a fourth term in the upcoming presidential election in Rwanda.
Kagame, 66, has been president for decades and has used the power of his incumbency to campaign across the country.
In the town of Byumba, northern Rwanda, Kagame's campaign rally was heavily attended by tens of thousands of supporters, with the streets lined with posters and the stadium decorated with the governing party's colors.
In contrast, his main challenger, Frank Habineza, had a smaller and more low-key rally in the same town, with only a few dozen people attending.

Election Context

The presidential and parliamentary election will be held on Monday, with over nine million people expected to cast their ballots.
Critics have described the election as a "rubber-stamp vote" with a foregone conclusion, with Kagame's face dominating the country's landscape.
Hundreds of candidates have registered to run for various seats, but Kagame is the clear frontrunner.
Rwanda has a population of 14 million people and is a landlocked nation in Central Africa.
