Three candidates vying for Rwanda’s presidency officially kicked off campaigns on Friday ahead of the August 4 poll, which the incumbent President Paul Kagame is expected to win with little challenge.

For the next 20 days, until August 3, the three candidates: President Kagame, the flag bearer of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF-Inkotanyi), Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, and Philippe Mpayimana, an independent candidate will traverse the country to sell their manifestos to the electorate.
