Kigali (17/11/2015): The Rwandan Senate has today finalised the revision of the constitution and adopted to keep two term limits, but left the contradicting Article 172, which allows a transitional term of seven years, before Article 101 could be implemented.
The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, finds this Article 172 a key challenge to peaceful transfer of power and sustainable peace and security. DGPR will therefore conduct a no change campaign when the referendum is confirmed.
Greens are part of the global movement building momentum for a safe climate. Rwanda Green Democrats will be in the global climate marches on 27-29 November, the weekend before COP21 begins. We will be at COP21 in Paris. DGPR President, will be a key speaker in the Global Greens webinar (online seminar) where Greens will come together and discuss what we are doing to tackle climate change.
The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda takes note of today's (29/10/2015) vote by the Rwandan Parliament on the draft constitution and especially on Article 101, regarding term limits. It’s good that the Parliament took notice of our request and accepted to reduce the term limits from 7 years to 5 years and also to maintain the term limits.
On Saturday, 17th October 2015, the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, successfully trained its political bureau members on participatory democracy, human rights and elections at Hotel Le Printemps in Kigali.
