Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame continues to receive congratulatory messages from his African peers on his landslide electoral victory in the just-concluded general election.
Presidents William Ruto of Kenya, Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania, Filipe Nyusi of Mozambique and Umaro Sissoco Embaló of Guinea Bissau were among the first to send goodwill messages to the veteran Rwandan President, who is embarking on his fourth term after garnering over 99 percent votes cast, according to partial results released on Monday by the National Electoral Commission.
