Rwanda Confirms Kagame’s Landslide Win With 99.2% of Vote

Rwandan President Paul Kagame secured a fourth term after winning 99.2% of the vote, extending his two-and-a-half-decade rule of the East African nation.

Kagame, 66, defeated the same two rivals he contested against seven years ago: Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, who got 0.5% of the vote, and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana, who garnered 0.32%, according to the final results released by the National Electoral Commission Monday in an X post.
