ISBN 1-84162-180-3〕 The constitution mandates seven-year presidential terms of office, leading to this election in 2010.〔(Constitution of Rwanda ) ''Legal and Constitutional Commission of Rwanda''. Retrieved 2008-10-20.〕 The incumbent was Paul Kagame, leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front, who had been President since 2000 and de facto leader since 1994, following his forces' victory over the interim government at the end of the Rwandan Genocide.〔Briggs, Philip & Booth, Janice (2006) ''Rwanda - The Bradt Travel Guide''. p18. 3rd ed. London: Bradt Travel Guides. ISBN 1841621803〕 Following promulgation of the constitution, Kagame won the subsequent Rwandan presidential election, 2003. Having served one term as elected president, Kagame was entitled to serve for one further term and sought re-election in 2010. During Kagame's tenure leading up to 2010, Rwanda experienced high growth rates and a rise in infrastructure and international investment and tourism.〔 He has been criticised by some opposition figures and human rights groups for suppressing dissent in the period leading up to the election.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rwandan presidential election, 2010」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
