Rwanda 's President Paul Kagame is running for a fourth term after winning 99% of the vote last time round.
He has been in power since July 1994 when his rebel army ousted the Hutu extremist government which had orchestrated the genocide of that year .
At over 6ft ( 1.83 m), he cuts a stern and imposing figure amid the crowds.
President Kagame was born in 1957 into a well-to-do household in central Rwanda .
He fled persecution and pogroms of the late 1950s with his family and thousands of others from the minority Tutsi population.
He trained in military intelligence in Uganda and joined the successful rebellion in that country led by Yoweri Museveni that saw him take power in 1986 .
Kagame has said he can still “remember looking out onto the next hill, we could see people burning the houses there”.
Thousands of miles away in the US , Dr Sebarenzi says he does not know what the future holds for his home country, affectionately known as the land of a thousand hills, but adds: “History shows that in countries where the head of state is stronger than state institutions, change of power can turn violent, leading to chaotic post-regime periods.” More BBC stories about Rwanda : Go to BBCAfrica.com for more news from the African continent..
