Rwanda Heads to The Polls as Kagame Hopes to Retain Presidency

Rwandans will vote in elections on Monday, with President PAUL KAGAME widely expected to extend his iron-fisted rule and sweep to victory in a race featuring the same candidates he defeated seven years ago.

A total of 9.01 million Rwandans are registered to vote, with the presidential poll being held at the same time as legislative elections for the first time
