General elections were held in Rwanda on 15 July 2024 to elect the president and members of the Chamber of Deputies.[1][2]

In an election that was criticised as unfair for its barring of serious opposition candidates,[3][4] incumbent President Paul Kagame, in office since 2000, was elected to a fourth term (allegedly with over 99% of the vote and a 98.2% turnout) and was inaugurated on 11 August.[5]
