Paul Kagame Expected to Secure Fourth Term in Rwandan Election

Rwanda's long-time president faces minimal opposition as concerns over political freedom persist.

Kagame has been in power since 1994, initially as vice president and then as president from 2000.
The opposition candidates, Frank Habineza and Philippe Mpayimana, have limited support and resources.
Rights groups criticize Kagame's administration for stifling dissent and restricting political freedoms.
Rwanda has seen significant economic growth and stability under Kagame's leadership.
Approximately 9.5 million Rwandans are registered to vote, with many seeing Kagame as a guarantor of peace.
