Police laud public conduct during electoral process

Rwanda National Police (RNP) commends the conduct of all players during the just concluded presidential and parliamentary campaigns, and elections.

The RNP spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Boniface Rutikanga said that the electoral process was “peaceful.”

“The RNP takes this opportunity to thank Rwandans for their cooperation in this period; campaigns and elections on July 15th and 16th. There were no any unlawful or violent incident as candidates and their supporters exercised their rights in a peaceful, safer and secure manner,” ACP Rutikanga said.

He added that transportation of electoral materials to and from polling sites ended incident-free.

The spokesperson thanked other partners, including the National Electoral Commission, security agencies and local leaders for the partnership to make this electoral process successful.

“Rwandans understand their rights and are accustomed to peaceful elections,” he said, calling upon the public to strengthen the spirit of community policing and sharing information on anything that can cause insecurity and the wellbeing of the people. (End)
