him a third term in office and extending his 17 years in power.

Commission’s Executive secretary,Charles Munyaneza, the 59-year-old former guerrilla
leader secured 98.66 percent, ‘we expect
that even if we get 100 percent of votes,
there will not be any change,” he said.

for presiding over a peaceful and rapid
economic recovery in the east African nation
since the 1994 genocide, when an
