Paul Kagame was inaugurated for his third term as Rwanda’s president after winning with over 99% of the vote in the recent election. The ceremony, held in the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, was attended by several African leaders as Kagame pledged to uphold the country’s laws and unity. Having played a significant role in stopping the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi population, Kagame’s leadership has been credited with fostering peace and unity in Rwanda. Born in Uganda as a refugee, Kagame’s journey to presidency has been marked by military training and political involvement, including serving as vice president and defense minister before becoming president in 2000. The election turnout rate was reported at 98% among the eligible voters in Rwanda. Kagame emphasized the importance of unity in his victory, highlighting the role it played in his electoral success. Despite facing opposition candidates who collectively received less than 1% of the vote, Kagame’s landslide victory solidifies his hold on power for another term.
