President Paul Kagame’s successor does not necessarily have to come from the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), a top official has revealed, after the president hinted that his third seven-year term could be his last.

At the recently concluded RPF Congress, Kagame asked his party to pursue a transition in the next seven years, and overcome the challenges that made them urge him to stay on.
