A split in an exiled political group has further weakened Rwanda’s opposition, leaving the ruling party with virtually no challenge ahead of the 2017 presidential election.
The Rwanda National Congress (RNC), an exile-based political group formed by former close allies of President Paul Kagame including Lt Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa, Dr Theogene Rudasingwa, Dr Gerald Gahima and the late Patrick Karegeya, announced the split earlier this month.
