Kagame Wins Over 99% Of Votes In Rwandan Presidential Election - Partial Results

In a widely anticipated but controversial outcome, Rwanda’s incumbent president Paul Kagame has won the country’s recent presidential election, securing a staggering 99.15% of the votes cast.

As reported by The East African, this marks Kagame’s fourth consecutive term in office, following previous election victories where he has consistently won over 93% of the vote.

A total of eight candidates had initially applied to run against Kagame, but ultimately, only two were permitted to contest the election by the country’s electoral commission.

This decision has fueled allegations of a tightly controlled political landscape and a lack of genuine opposition.

The others, including Kagame’s most vocal critics, were barred for various reasons that included prior criminal convictions.

Kagame was running against two other candidates, Frank Habineza and Philippe Mpayimana, who also challenged him at the last poll in 2017.

The 66-year-old Kagame thanked Rwandans for their trust in an address at his Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) party headquarters. He said:

These are not just figures, even if it was 100%, these are not just numbers. [They] show the trust, and that is what is most important.

With about 79% of ballots counted, partial results announced by the electoral commission show Kagame had won 99.15% of the vote while his two opponents shared less than 1% of the vote.

Kagame’s opponents – environmentalist Frank Habineza and ex-journalist and government adviser Philippe Mpayimana – have 0.53% and 0.32% respectively.

The full provisional results are due by 20 July and the final ones by 27 July.

The overwhelming victory for Kagame, who has dominated Rwandan politics since the end of the country’s civil war in 1994, has reinforced concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and the concentration of power within the incumbent’s hands.

Critics have long argued that Kagame’s rule has been characterized by a crackdown on dissent, the suppression of political opposition, and the curtailment of civil liberties.

Kagame is good to his people. This week uyo Ari kuright akatopuhwa tonnes of excess maize grain . All of us don't really give a damn about who rules us - until we see problems then we start to investigate why. Then we get political. Rwandans don't even want to lose Kagame. Those two on either side of him wish they were him... but alas!!

99.15% is tantamount to one-party state, or to some extent, poor rigging mechanisms. We need to help Rwanda, not Gwanda. Edurite out........

A nation voting overwhelmingly for a leader among aspirants of good repute can be attributed to various factors, including: 1. State capture: Manipulation of the electoral process, media, and institutions to favor a particular candidate. 2. Citizen fanaticism: Emotional appeal, charisma, or populist rhetoric can lead to a strong emotional connection with a candidate, overriding rational evaluation. 3. Lack of critical thinking: Insufficient scrutiny of candidates' policies, track records, and qualifications. 4. Tribal or identity politics: Voting based on ethnic, religious, or regional affiliations rather than policy or merit. 5. Voter suppression or disenfranchisement: Limiting access to voting for certain groups. 6. Information asymmetry: Unequal access to information or manipulated narratives. 7. Economic or social desperation: Voters seeking quick fixes or saviors amidst economic or social crises. This pattern of voting can have severe impacts on the nation, including: 1. Authoritarianism: Concentration of power, erosion of democratic institutions, and suppression of dissent. 2. Policy stagnation: Lack of diverse perspectives and ideas, leading to ineffective governance. 3. Divisiveness: Reinforcing existing social cleavages, exacerbating polarization, and undermining national unity. 4. Economic instability: Populist policies or crony capitalism can lead to economic mismanagement and inequality. 5. Loss of credibility: International reputation damage, reduced investor confidence, and decreased global influence. 6. Social unrest: Disillusioned citizens may resort to protests, violence, or apathy, undermining social cohesion. 7. Democratic regression: Erosion of democratic norms, institutions, and values, threatening the very foundation of democracy. It's essential for citizens to engage critically, evaluate candidates objectively, and promote democratic values to ensure a healthy and functioning democracy.
