RWANDA'S KAGAME SUBMITS BID FOR JULY ELECTION


Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has officially submitted his candidacy to the country's poll body for the July presidential elections.

He is widely expected to win the poll, which could see him extend his presidency to nearly three decades.

Mr Kagame won the last presidential election in 2017 with nearly 99% of the vote.

Mr Kagame, 66, has faced criticism from rights groups, which have accused him of cracking down on the opposition.

But the president has maintained that Rwanda respects political freedoms.
