The PL candidate was received amidst chants and applause from residents at both rallies.

He added his party will put more efforts in improving education, access to health services, infrastructure and skills development.

His campaign manager, François Byabarumwanzi, urged residents to vote for the PL candidate to enable him implement the party’s vision for the country.

"The election date is like our wedding day and we are sure of victory. Let’s get ready to make that day colourful and victorious for all Rwandans who have chosen the path of liberty, justice and development,” Byabarumwanzi said.

Protais Mitali, the party’s chairman, hailed residents for the warm reception, adding that it was the right time for the party to take the presidency ‘after working hard alongside others, to rebuild the Rwandan community since the 1994 Genocide.
