Rwanda: four candidates for the presidential elections
So far, all the observers have no doubt that Paul Kagame is expected, without no doubt, to succeed to himself. Will he meet or exceed the score of the 95% of votes obtained in 2003? This is perhaps the only non answered question of the coming presidential election, as it seems that the other three candidates will not threaten his reelection.
Two of them are directly from the institutions and parties that had supported the candidate of the RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front) at the previous election. Namely the Vice-President of the National Assembly and former Minister of Health care, Jean Damascene Ntawukuri-ryayo has been invested by the Social Democratic Party; while the vice-chairman of the Senate and former Minister of Commerce, Prosper Higiro, competes for the Liberal Party. The third runner is a woman, Senator Alvera Muka-baramba, defending the colors of the Party of Progress and Concord. She was already a candidate in 2003, but retired on the eve of the poll and called to vote for Paul Kagame.
The most radical and credible opponents are Victory Ingabire or Bernard Ntaganda, but both of them cannot participate. One is under judicial investigation, accusing the authority for blocking her way to participate, and the second is currently being on trial for acts of terrorism.
