The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda has today the 29th of August 2013 raised its party flag, at its main office in Kigali, Rwanda. This flag raising ceremony takes place, three weeks after getting official recognition by the Rwandan Government. This event is of great significance to the party since it marks the beginning of political activities in the Republic of Rwanda. Future activities of the party shall include: setting up of structures at different administrative levels of the country, preparing for local elections in 2016, presidential elections in 2017, parliamentary elections in 2018 and senatorial elections in 2019. The party will continue to be a voice of the voiceless, a champion of democratic values and sustainable development. Done at Kigali, 29th August 2013 Jean Claude NTEZIMANA DGPR’s Secretary General

The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda is pleased to inform all its party members, well-wishers, members of the media and the general public that it has finally received its registration certificate from Rwanda Governance Board, today, 9th August 2013. This is a very important step forward in the democratisation process of Rwanda. The struggle to get the party registered has taken four years. The Party was officially launched on 14th August 2009 and journey has been very tough. We would like to take on this opportunity to thank the Government of Rwanda for allowing the party to get registered. We hope the Government will continue opening more space for opposition politics and let democracy take root in Rwanda. We are also grateful to all the members of the media, diplomats accredited to Rwanda, the international community and all Friends of the Rwandan Greens for having stood with us all this time. We request you to continue doing so. The deadline for submitting lists of parliamentary candidates for the September elections is Monday, 12th August. The timing is very short. We take on this opportunity to request the National Electoral Commission to extend the deadline to at least one more week.
