Suspicious 99% victory in election

dimanche 6 août 2017 à 02:00

Authoritarian President Kagame of Rwanda, running for reelection, reports winning 99% of the votes.

Kagame has brought peace and prosperity, as well as some repression, to Rwanda, and I can believe he received the majority of the votes. However, the reported 99% victory makes me suspect falsification. It reminds me of Russia, where Putin would surely win a free and fair election, but prefers to make them unfair.
