| Rwanda finally elects members to East African Legislative Assembly |
|
Five of the elected members of Parliament are women, something that gives Rwanda a nod for being an EAC member state with the highest number of women representation at the EALA. The election that was carried out on Monday in a joint session of 92 senators and deputies, saw two former cabinet ministers return to public sphere with assignments at the regional assembly. These include; former Minister of Lands and Environment, Patricia Hajabakiga and Valerie Nyirahabineza the former Minister in the office of the Prime Minister in charge of Gender and Family promotion. Ms. Nyirahabineza was elected on the Rwanda National Women Council ticket. Rwanda’s EALA legislators were elected from different political party groupings which included the National Women Council, the National Federation for the Disabled and the National Youth Council. Four candidates were selected from a coalition of political parties. |
