Rwanda's Kagame celebrates early poll results
Thousands of supporters of Rwanda's President Paul Kagame have been celebrating as early results of the presidential poll were released.
Figures displayed on a giant screen in a stadium in the capital Kigali showed him winning 96% of the diaspora vote.
He also won 92.9% of the vote in 11 out of 30 districts announced so far.
His supporters say he has brought stability and growth since the country's 1994 genocide, but critics accuse him of suppressing opposition.
The election was only the second presidential election since 1994, and five million Rwandans were registered to vote.
People had queued before dawn to vote on Monday and the electoral commission said turnout was high.
