Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda, won a sweeping triumph in the country’s 2024 presidential election held on July 15, securing a 4th term in office with 99.2% of the total votes against his opponents.
It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for Rwanda. Many African states that have been under authoritarian rule, although flourishing (economy, standard of living) sooner or later begin to fall because the government of the day refuses to leave power and then with their own hands bring down all they've built. I hope Rwanda is able to have a smooth power transition in the future and does not repeat history like Libya or other countries where the leaders were authoritarian.
