Venuste Icyitegetse resigned as a member of the Chamber of Deputies, Parliament said on Thursday, June 11.

Icyitegetse, 31, stepped down citing "personal reasons," Parliament said in a statement on Monday afternoon.

He was serving a five-year term, ending in 2029.

According to the election law, a Member of Parliament is replaced through an election if the remainder of their term of office is more than one year.
