There are positive developments but there are also areas of concern - Observer Group chairman says.
The Commonwealth Observer Group to Rwanda's presidential elections issued an interim statement on Tuesday 10 August 2010, saying they had seen a peaceful election campaign and a well-managed process by the National Electoral Commission.
Issuing the statement, Group chairman Dr Salim Ahmed Salim said that while Rwanda seeks to take forward its democratisation process, there were also concerns regarding the pre-election period, including limitations on political participation.
Dr Salim served for 12 years as Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Secretary-General and is also a former Prime Minister of Tanzania.
