The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, has today, 22nd April 2013, submitted an official letter requesting the Mayor of Gasabo District to grant it permision to hold the party's founding congress on 10th May 2013.
The previous request was submitted in September 2012 but a response was not availed in time and the congress was called off, two days before the event.That Congress had been scheduled for 16th November 2012.
The Mayor later informed party leaders that investigations in security concerns were still going on and that was the reason for the non-response.
Frank Habineza, founder and president of the Opposition Democratic Green Party of Rwanda will receive an honorary Doctoral Degree from Bethel College, Mishawaka, Indiana, USA, during a campus ceremony at 10:00 am Friday, March 15, 2013. The degree is presented in honor of Mr. Habineza’s work in promoting democratic reforms and human rights in Rwanda and across Africa.
The consultative meeting of the Executive Committee of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda held both on 1st and 2nd February 2013, resolved to relieve Mr.Omar Leo, from his duties as the party’s communication secretary, due to his irresponsible behaviour largely displayed in his oral and written communications, especially in the social media.
As a member of the party and a citizen aspiring for a public office, integrity must be unquestionable and credentials unimpeachable.
The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda wishes to inform all Rwandans, members of the media and the international community, that it has cancelled it’s planned founding congress of 16th November 2012.
We had submitted an official request to Gasabo District, Kigali, City, on 25th September 2012 to have the congress on 16th November.
On 13th September 2012, at Hotel Umubano ( Ex-Novotel), we had a press conference and re-launched the activities of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda.
We presented our political program and the new interim executive committee. We plan to have our founding congress in November.
We also stated that our immediate plan will be to request the registration of our party and prepare for the September 2013 parliamentary elections.
