The National Electoral Commission (NEC), yesterday, released the preliminary results of the August 9, Presidential election, where the RPF candidate, Paul Kagame emerged winner, with an overwhelming  93 per cent

According to NEC, while the final results were yet to be announced, preliminary figures, so far, give a clear picture of what the overall outcome will be. This, undoubtedly, confirms the RPF victory.

Besides attaining political stability, Rwanda has also achieved a rapid and steady economic growth under Kagame’s leadership. This economic achievement has been a result of the competent policies especially in agriculture, infrastructure, ICT, tourism, export sector and the financial sector among others.

Good governance in the country has accounted for tremendous reforms in doing business in Rwanda.  The World Bank ranks Rwanda as one of the most business-friendly nations in Africa. 

Kagame has also managed to establish a stable government with democratic institutions, ensured peace and security. This has allowed Rwanda to achieve solid economic growth and low inflation by increasingly attracting foreign and local investment through private sector growth.

With these competent policies in place, and the continued leadership of the RPF, there is little doubt that the pace of development will only increase.
