Lawmaker, Francis Kaboneka, has urged members of all religious groups to massively participate in the forthcoming presidential elections slated for August 9.

He was addressing over 700 faithful in Nyarugenge District, during a one-day seminar organised by the National Electoral Commission (NEC).

"I encourage you to turn up in large numbers in the forthcoming presidential elections and also sensitize and mobilize others to do the same,” Kaboneka said.

He called on them to work hand-in-hand with the commission in order to ensure a free and fair election.

The in-charge of election in Nyarugenge District, Jean Bosco Rutikanga, requested participants to cross-check with the voters register to avoid last minute disappointments.
