Paul Kagame to seek fourth term as President of Rwanda

Rwandan President Paul Kagame has expressed intentions of contesting for a fourth term.

Kagame who has been in power since 2000, now says he will be seeking to defend his seat in 2024.

"I would consider running for another 20 years. I have no problem with that. Elections are about people choosing," Kagame told a French TV 

The 64-year-old rose to the country’s top seat after rebel forces helped end the Rwandan genocide that left about a million people dead.

Since then , Kagame has been re-elected three consecutive times on a seven-year term, as is stipulated by the Rwandan Constitution .
