[The Conversation Africa] Rwanda's ruling party, the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), recently concluded its 16th congress. This also marked 35 years of its existence. The centre piece, however, was the election as chairman, yet again, of the country's president Paul Kagame. With 99.9% of the votes - 2,099 of the available 2,102 votes - Kagame was re-elected and put on course to potentially run for yet another electoral term in 2024.
