Paul Kagame sworn-in for fourth term as Rwanda's president
Показать описание
Paul Kagame was sworn in Sunday for another five-year term as Rwanda's president after winning a landslide election victory last month.
The East African nation's Chief Justice Faustin Nteziryayo administered the oath at the ceremony attended by several African leaders at a packed Amahoro Stadium in the capital Kigali.
Kagame pledged to remain loyal to the country, defend its Constitution and laws, preserve peace and national sovereignty, and to consolidate national unity.
Kagame, who ran under the banner of the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in the election on July 15, won with more than 99% of the vote.
He beat his challengers Frank Habineza of the opposition Democratic Green Party of Rwanda and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana. Both collectively received less than 1% — 0.53% and 0.32%, respectively.
The electoral body reported a voter turnout rate of 98% among the approximately 9 million eligible voters.
In his inaugural speech, Kagame highlighted the role of the country's spirit of unity in his election win.
"Our political process is designed to renew and deepen our unity," he said.
Kagame, 66, sought reelection following a 2015 constitutional amendment that allowed him to run for three more terms and gave him the green light to pursue a seven-year third term in 2017.
However, the amended Constitution shortened presidential term limits to five years starting in 2024.
Kagame grew up in Uganda as a refugee following the country's 1959-1962 revolution, which led to the Tutsi population being driven out by the majority Hutu.
He was a founding member of current Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's rebel army in 1979, where he headed its intelligence wing, helping Museveni seize power in 1986. Kagame received military training in Uganda, Tanzania, and the US.
