99pc Rwandans back Kagame

News Desk :
Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame made history once by receiving 99% of the vote in the African countries previous election in 2017, says BBC.
There is not much room for growth for Rwanda’s next election, to be held on Monday (15 July).
However the scale of his victories in 2017, along with his 95% in 2003 and 93% in 2010, raised some questions about how truly democratic the elections were. Criticism that the former refugee and rebel leader confidently bats away.
“There are those who think 100% is not democracy,” Kagame told thousands of cheering supporters at a campaign rally in western Rwanda last month. Referring to elections elsewhere, without naming a specific country, he added: “There are many who are voted in office with 15%… Is that democracy? How?”
What happens in Rwanda is Rwanda’s business, the president insisted.
His backers agreed, chanting “they should come and learn” as they waved the red, white and sky blue flags of the governing Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) party.
At over 6ft (1.83m), the wiry 66-year-old father of four cuts a stern and imposing figure amid the crowds. He can crack a smile and a joke or two, but the bespectacled leader can often take on the grimace of a disappointed elder.
