Residents of Rutsiro and Karongi districts in the Western Province were yesterday  engulfed in an excited mood as the RPF Presidential candidate, Paul Kagame, campaigned in the region. Most of those who spoke to The New Times’ Senior Reporter, Edwin Musoni,  listed a number of reasons as to why they will vote Kagame back into office.

I will vote for Kagame for his effective leadership. He has constructed houses for us; I personally got a free house from Kagame’s leadership. I am sure he has to win the elections because he has laid a firm foundation for his campaign and he has proved that he delivers.
