Paul Kagame, who has been the President of Rwanda since 2000 and has been a central figure in the country’s leadership since the end of the 1994 genocide, has secured another five-year term after winning over 99% of the vote in the recent election. Kagame’s rule has been marked by significant economic growth and stability in Rwanda, but also by concerns over human rights and the suppression of political opposition. His overwhelming victory in this election continues his long tenure in power.
