I’m sure it was a free, fair and open election where all candidates had equal opportunity to campaign and run and no groups were restricted from voting as they wished /s.

Partial results issued by the election commission seven hours after polls closed showed Kagame had surpassed the 98.79% of the vote he got in the previous election seven years ago.

The Democratic Green party candidate, Frank Habineza, mustered only 0.53% and the independent Philippe Mpayimana 0.32%, according to the results issued with 79% of ballots counted.

Clearly it was free and fair and he’s just that popular.

The Conservative government in the UK were working with him to deport people attempting to enter the UK to Rwanda. So they were partners in cruelty, for a start. The new Labour government has said it is abandoning this.

Based on the past, any dictator not butchering people in the high 6 figures is seen as a vast improvement

Paul Kagame spends literally billions of dollars on Western PR firms.

He is also runninga US client state, as well as a UK Tory party partner in intended human rights abuses.
