President Paul Kagame has been sworn-in once again for a new five-year term as the Head of State of Rwanda.
His inauguration ceremony took place at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali on Sunday, August 11, 2024. Tens of thousands of Rwandans and international guests attended the colorful inauguration ceremony.
At least 22 Heads of State, four vice Presidents, two Prime Ministers, and other dignitaries, attended the inauguration in the Rwandan capital.
President Kagame’s fourth inauguration ceremony followed his landslide victory in Rwanda’s July Presidential Elections with over 99% of the votes cast.
In his inaugural speech, President Kagame says “For the last 30 years, our country has been good work in progress. This new mandate means the beginning of even more hard work.”
He added that “that expectation to keep improving is not a dream, it is a reality. We can do it and we will do it.”
President Kagame has been in power since the end of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide which saw the killings of nearly one million people over s period of just three months.
He has largely been criticized by the Western world for clinching onto power and partly ‘silencing’ his political opponents.
