In December 2017 when the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF–Inkotanyi) was celebrating its 30th birthday, President Paul Kagame urged the country’s youth to take up leadership positions to allow a transition from one generation to another, pointing out that he wouldn’t mind being replaced by a younger leader.
A few months after his re-election, President Kagame hinted that the ruling party would be looking to retire old cadres and allow young party members to take over, and has continuously urged young people to step up and take their place.
