Rwanda’s president Paul Kagame has been endorsed as candidate by two of the oldest and political parties.

Liberal Party (PL), and the Social Democratic Party (PSD), endorsed the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) candidate Paul Kagame in the July presidential race on Sunday, joining four smaller political parties, which are already in a coalition with the ruling RPF — in endorsing Kagame.

Allied to the ruling party, leaders of the PL and PSD have historically served in different government positions.

Kagame has ruled over Rwanda for decades. He won the presidency in elections in 2003, 2010 and 2017 – with more than 90 percent of the vote.

Rwanda will hold presidential and parliamentary polls on July 15.
