Rwanda date for term limit vote

Oil-rich Congo’s government has called an October referendum on allowing veteran leader Denis Sassou Nguesso, who has already notched up more than 30 years in power, to run for a controversial third term.

Rwandan parliamentarians support changes in the constitution that would allow President Paul Kagame to stand for a third term in 2017.

Rwanda's highest court has ruled in favour of changing the constitution to allow President Paul Kagame to stand for a third seven-year term in 2017.

 Rwanda will hold a referendum next week on a constitutional amendment that could see veteran leader Paul Kagame rule until 2034.
