        This election has elicited very little interest because it's a joke. I can declare now that Kagame will get 98% in another sham election!

        Judging by Kagame's weight (42kg), I think he's the only African leader who does not "eat" public money.....

        The only other people that have gotten over 95% of the vote in fake elections are the late Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Un.
