Rwanda President Set To Run Again In 2024 Election

Rwandan President, Paul Kagame made it known on Friday that he will be seeking another term in office in the upcoming 2024 elections.

Kagame, who has ruled Rwanda for over two decades disclosed that he was considering seeking re-election.

I consider running for another 20 years. I have no problem with that,” he said this in an interview.

Elections are about people choosing,” he added.

The 64-year-old swept the 2017 presidential election with an official 99 percent of the vote.

He was just 36 when his Patriotic Front party forced out Hutu extremists blamed for the genocide in which some 800,000 mainly Tutsi people were murdered between April and July 1994.

Kagame fiercely defended Rwanda’s record on human rights and political freedoms at a Commonwealth summit in Kigali at the end of June.
