They are exercising their right…The Green Party , good thing!
RWANDA’S Green Party, the country’s tiny but main opposition, complained Wednesday it was having trouble finding a lawyer to handle its challenge to moves to allow President Paul Kagame stand for a third term.
The Rwandan constitution, which was adopted in 2003, limits the number of presidential terms to two, and therefore bars Kagame—who was elected first in 2003 and again in 2010—to stand for a third term.
But officials last month said parliament would soon debate a change to the constitution in response to what Kagame’s aides have described as “popular demand” for the former rebel leader to stay.
The Green Party has vowed to challenge this in court, but said it was being hampered by the reluctance of lawyers to take up the case. FULL STORY
