Polling stations opened across Rwanda for presidential and parliamentary elections, AFP journalists saw, with the African nation's leader Paul Kagame set to cruise to victory and extend his iron-fisted rule for another five years.
Nine million Rwandans will cast their ballot across 2,433 polling stations, which opened around 7:00 a.m. (0500 GMT) and are set to close at 3:00 p.m. (1300 GMT).
