Rwanda's President will decide whether to seek a third term in office after a referendum, on a constitutional change that would a allow him to run again. The referendum is expected to be held later this month the United States, a major donor that has long praised president Paul Kagame for rebuilding the nation after the 1994 genocide, has said he should set an example to the region by stepping down at the end of his second term in 2017. Kagame, who was first elected President in 2003 but was seen as Rwanda's main power broker long before that, has not announced his intentions but has said those who want him to stay must convince him. Under proposed constitutional changes approved by parliament and being put to public vote, Kagame would be allowed to run in 2017 for another seven-year term plus two more five-year terms after that, potentially allowing him to stay in power till 2034.
