Rwanda's Kagame says wins presidential election
( 2003-08-26 09:25) (Agencies)

Rwanda's incumbent President Paul Kagame said on Tuesday he had won the first presidential elections since the country's 1994 genocide in which 800,000 people were killed.

"There is no doubt that the polls have gone our way," he told thousands of cheering supporters at the capital's Amahoro (Peace) stadium. "This is a true victory, irreversible, and not a surprise," he said.

An election commission official said that although just over half of the votes cast during the poll on Monday remained to be counted, it appeared that Kagame had an unassailable lead.
