Rwanda’s ruling coalition has secured the highest number of seats in the legislative election, with the FPR maintaining significant dominance by garnering over 62% of the votes.
Other parties like the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party received nearly 11% and 9% of the votes, respectively.
The two groups outside the coalition, PS Imberakuri and the Democratic Green Party, secured slightly over 5% of the votes, surpassing the minimum threshold required to gain parliamentary seats.
Following the proportional representation elections, the composition of the assembly is expected to see minimal change compared to the one elected in 2018.
The electoral commission has not yet disclosed the breakdown of seats by political party.
In separate provisional results from Monday’s presidential election, electoral authorities announced that President Paul Kagame has secured 99.18% of the vote.
Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana each received less than 1% of the vote in provisional results accounting for 79% of all ballots cast.
