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.
