Rwanda's Kagame celebrates early poll results
Kigali, 10 Aug-(ANA)-Thousands of supporters of Rwanda's President Paul Kagame have
been celebrating as early results of the presidential poll were released.
Figures
displayed on a giant screen in a stadium in the capital Kigali showed him winning 96% of the diaspora
vote.
He
also won 92.9% of the vote in 11 out of 30 districts announced so far.
His
supporters say he has brought stability and growth since the country's 1994
genocide, but critics accuse him of suppressing opposition.
The
election was only the second presidential election since 1994, and five million
Rwandans were registered to vote. (ANA)
