Rwanda’s ruling coalition, led by President Paul Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), is leading the legislative election with the highest number of seats, securing over 62% of the votes.
Other established parties, notably the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party, received approximately 11% and 9% of the votes, respectively.
Parties allied with the RPF, some of whose leaders hold ministerial positions, supported President Kagame during the presidential campaign and accompanied him in his campaign efforts.
The two groups outside the coalition and its allies, PS Imberakuri and the Democratic Green Party, garnered just over 5% of the votes, meeting the minimum threshold to obtain seats in Parliament.
Following these proportional representation elections, the composition of the assembly is expected to remain largely unchanged compared to the one elected in 2018.
The electoral commission has not yet provided the distribution of the number of deputies by political party.
President Paul Kagame has won 99% of the vote in provisional results from Monday’s presidential election in Rwanda, according to electoral authorities. This outcome was widely expected as the long-time ruler aims to extend his three-decade grip on power.
Kagame’s opponents, Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana, received less than 1% of the vote in provisional results, accounting for 79% of all ballots cast.
