Rwanda Patriotic Front Presidential candidate President Paul Kagame has commenced campaigns for the coming August 3 and 4 elections in Bugesera, the Southern Province where he is expected to address thousands of supporters that want him re-elected to continue the good achievements shelved in the last 23 years.
On his way to Busegera once a territory that was held backward by the past regime over tribe and now an emerging city, President Kagame stopped over in Nyabugogo where he reminded Rwandans and RPF supporters that they need to make the right choice that would continue with the good achievements that want to register in the coming seven years.
“RPF gave you a candidate and that candidate should be elected to continue the good work that has been done over the past years,” he said in Nyabugogo where he would then head for Kicukiro district on his way to Busegera.
Busegera is one of the districts that have been redefined with improved agricultural practices, installation of industries, construction of model villages to house the needy poor and is expecting to be home to Rwanda’s largest international airport whose construction is due process.
When the airport is completed in 2019, Busegera could possibly be Rwanda’ second city thus making living standards that were once low more definite to be compared to life in Kigali city.
President Kagame noted that there reason he would have turned down the wish of more than 4 million Rwandans that supported his contest for a third term because they want him to continue the achievements RPF government has achieved in two decades.
RPF is the party with more supporters and campaigning power that is most likely expected to be elected to lead the third seven year term since the end of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
The RPF incumbent is contesting the Rwanda Green Democratic Party candidate Frank Habineza and an independent candidate Phillipe Mpayimana who is not very popular in the country because he has been serving as a journalist in France.
DPRG’s Habineza wishes to have all Rwandans pool funds to collectively equally have a co-shared financial system that would help them keep way from poverty.
Mpayimana however insists that Rwandan families no matter how in abject poverty they could be should be the basis for the countries GDP and wealth and also economically benefit from the gloss. This he notes could help them end poverty.
President Kagame noted that for Rwandans to rather move faster to prosperity, the government will in his third seven year term connect all villages to electrical grid and improve feeder roads to better improve trade.
