Rwanda’s presidential election was marred by irregularities, including some instances of President Paul Kagame’s agents telling people to vote for him, the leading EU election observer has said.

Nine years after Hutu extremists tried to wipe out minority Tutsis, Rwandans have voted overwhelmingly for a Tutsi president, with 95.05% casting ballots for incumbent Paul Kagame in the country’s first real presidential election, the electoral commission said.
