The commission said partial results of
Friday's election had given him 98 percent of
the vote.
Mr Kagame's supporters began celebrating
before the announcement.
They say that he has brought stability and
economic development after the horrors of
the 1994 genocide.
But his critics - most of whom are outside the
country - say he has ruled through fear.
Mr Kagame, who has been in power for 17
years, was challenged by Frank Habineza and
Philippe Mpayimana.
He came to power in 1994, when his rebel
group took control of the capital, Kigali,
ending the genocide in which some 800,000
ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were
slaughtered.
Rwanda's constitution was amended in 2015,
giving Mr Kagame a chance to stay in power
until 2034.
The two challengers have complained that
their supporters are being intimidated, which
they say explains the low turnout at their
pre-election rallies.
The candidates have also accused some local
authorities of undermining their campaign.
The ruling party denies any accusations of
wrongdoing.
