Mockery of democracy but it good if it legitimize his rule. Democracy is more than voting. Kagame has to allow free opposition,free press, free civil society, free security agencies and he'll just be about started.

His model must be Kazakhstan and Nazarbayev: typical voter-turnout--95+%, votes for him--97+%.   What a much-loved man.

It helps if the opposition is not in a position to field a candidate, and the other candidates are your buddies, put in to make things "competitive".

They say hypocrisy is tribute vice pays to virtue. Why all the pretences at democracy?

The man brooks no dissent.  When you see the venom with which he responds to tweets that might even hint at criticism, you get a better appreciation of the courage of people like Victoire Ingabire and 10 Rwandans.
