Rwandans turned out in large numbers on Monday to cast their votes in the presidential election, with early results indicating that incumbent Paul Kagame is leading the race. Kagame, who has been in power for nearly a quarter century, is widely expected to secure a fourth term as president of the East African nation.
The two other candidates in the election, Frank Habineza from the Democratic Green Party and independent Philippe Mpayimana, expressed hopes of making progress in the election. However, analysts and rights groups predict a decisive victory for Kagame.
