Dr. Frank Habineza, President of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda (DGPR), who recently took an oath to join the Rwandan Senate, shared how he is preparing for his new responsibilities. He also discussed how his colleague, Evode Uwizeyimana, inspired him to study law and revealed that he may consider running for president in the future. During an interview with IGIHE. Dr. Frank Habineza recalled a conversation with Evode Uwizeyimana on Rwanda Television, where Uwizeyimana told him not to engage in debates about laws until he had studied them. This advice motivated Dr. Habineza to go back to school. He said, “I would say that Senator Evode Uwizeyimana sparked a healthy jealousy in me, and I immediately went back to study law. I am now in my final year at the University of Kigali, with expectations to graduate next year. I plan to continue my studies at the Institute of Legal Practice and Development, and if necessary, I will pursue a PhD degree in Law.” Dr. Habineza explained that his decision to study law was not to compete with anyone, but to enhance his knowledge. He added that being a parliamentarian requires legal knowledge, which is crucial to effectively represent Rwandans. He clarified that he has no issues with Senator Evode Uwizeyimana and that, aside from encouraging him to study law, they both share ideas for the benefit of all Rwandans. Dr. Habineza stated, “It’s really great to be in the same Senate. I would call him my ‘buddy’ because we have discussions, and even when we disagree, we continue the conversation. Even when we don’t have the same views, it doesn’t mean things have fallen apart.” Dr. Habineza was elected as a Senator, succeeding Mugisha Alexis from the Green Party, who had completed his five-year term. Many wondered why Dr. Habineza did not allow him to extend his tenure, especially since there was a possibility that Mugisha could have been granted another five-year term. Dr. Habineza explained that there is no issue with him replacing Mugisha in the Senate since Mugisha had completed his term, but assured that the party would assign him other responsibilities. He said, “He is still our member, the party’s chief commissioner, and he is still active. We will assign him other duties, and we will continue to explore new opportunities for him. A term lasts for five years, and once it’s over, it doesn’t mean that you can’t take on other roles. People transition into new roles all the time, and that’s what will happen.” Dr. Frank Habineza, President of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda (DGPR) has shared how he is preparing for his new responsibilities. Regarding his new role as a Senator, Frank Habineza emphasized that he will continue to prioritize the interests of the people. He said, “I am still myself, still original. What I can tell you is that the responsibilities in the legislative process of the Senate are different from those of the Chamber of Deputies. The people expect us to be there for them, and we will continue to serve them well, with God’s help.” Running again after defeat Dr. Habineza has contested for the position of President of Rwanda twice, but on both occasions, he failed to secure even 5% of the vote. In the most recent election held on July 15, 2024, Paul Kagame won with 99.18% of the vote, securing 8,822,794 votes from Rwandans. Dr. Frank Habineza came in second with just 0.50% of the vote. Dr. Habineza said that his participation in the presidential election was in the country’s interest rather than his own. He stated, “I put the country’s interests first by running for the presidency, because we saw that this was more valuable than running for a parliamentary seat. We believed that the country’s interests lay in having someone run for president, especially since we are a party opposed to the government. We believe these ideas shouldn’t be suppressed. I did not put my own interests first, I put the country’s interests first.” He added that even though he did not win the election, he is confident that the ideas in his manifesto will be implemented. Dr. Frank Habineza (right) in a photo with President Paul Kagame after taking an oath to join Rwanda s Senate. When asked if he was considering leading the Rwandan Senate, especially as the committee currently leading the Senate will finish its term in 2029 while others will conclude theirs in 2030, he said he was unsure but was ready to serve Rwandans. He said, “What I can tell you is that I, Frank Habineza, am ready to serve Rwandans. We have paid a great price to serve them, and if they continue to trust us, there is nothing that can stop us from serving them in any capacity.” Dr. Habineza disclosed that his dreams of becoming president are not over. He stated that if his party members trust him again in the future, he will run for president once more. He outlined that if he was elected in 2029, his key focus would be eradicating poverty completely in Rwanda, ensuring that everyone is self-sufficient in food production, and reducing the need for imports. He also emphasized strengthening industries, promoting environmentally friendly transportation, improving the quality of education, caring for teachers and healthcare workers, and introducing a minimum wage among others. Dr. Habineza said that he will continue to advocate for a minimum wage in Parliament, as this issue has been pending for over six years under the Prime Minister’s office without a solution. After the election defeat, Dr. Habineza said he chose to focus on party activities because they needed him most at the time. He refrained from addressing the negative atmosphere that had been reported within the Green Party, stating that the issue was resolved and was based on the misconduct of a few individuals but had since been corrected. Dr. Habineza has contested for the position of President of Rwanda twice. Following the presidential and parliamentary elections, the Green Party sold its headquarters. The party has now received the funds allocated to political parties that contested and won seats in the National Assembly. Green Party has already received the funds and has purchased a new headquarters located in Muyombo. He said, “Elections are expensive, and those we compete against have many supporters, which helps them raise money. We don’t have as many supporters as they do. Our supporters did contribute, but their contributions weren’t enough. We sold our assets to avoid loans.” He commended the good management of various sectors during the presidential election, including local governments, security, and others, noting that it contributed to the smooth running of the elections. To promote development and self-reliance, the Green Party has started helping its supporters by assisting them with livestock farming, producing organic fertilizers, and improving their projects so that they benefit both the supporters and the party. Dr. Habineza is among two senators recently elected to join the Senate of Rwanda. Constructive criticism Dr. Habineza explained that when the party was founded, they considered themselves confrontational and radical opposition but later decided to be a constructive opposition party aimed at raising issues and providing alternative solutions to problems. He said, “In the past, we criticized everything, seeing no good in anything. But now, we say, ’No, that’s not right.’ We can acknowledge the good where we see it, but also address the bad and offer solutions on how it should be corrected. This is the direction we have taken, but we are still an opposition party in a constructive way, not one that aims to destroy but to build.” He emphasized that there is no reason for him to engage in negative actions that could lead to harm when he has the opportunity to do good and achieve positive outcomes. He also noted that the Green Party’s supporters continue to grow as they understand the party’s goals, vision, and the reasons for being part of it. Dr. Habineza said that he will continue to advocate for a minimum wage in Parliament.
