Rwanda's ruling coalition, led by President Paul Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), is leading the legislative elections with more than 62% of the votes. Historic parties, such as the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party, garnered nearly 11% and 9% of the votes, respectively.
Parties allied with the RPF, including some led by ministers who supported Kagame during the presidential campaign, maintained a strong presence. The PS Imberakuri and the Democratic Green Party, two groups outside the coalition, secured just over 5% of the votes, meeting the minimum threshold for parliamentary seats.
The composition of the assembly is expected to remain largely unchanged from the 2018 elections. The electoral commission has not yet released the distribution of deputies by political party.
In the recent presidential election, provisional results show President Kagame winning 99% of the vote, extending his three-decade tenure. His opponents, Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana, received less than 1% of the votes.
