Justice Maraga Leads 14 Election Observation Teams From EAC to Oversee Rwanda Elections
Former Chief Justice David Maraga is spearheading a formidable team of 14 Election Observation Teams from the East African Community (EAC) to oversee the upcoming General Election in Rwanda.
The election, slated for Monday, July 15, 2024, is a significant event for the Republic of Rwanda and the broader East African region.
On Friday, July 12, the EAC mission was officially flagged off by the Secretary General of the EAC, Veronica Nduva, at the Mission headquarters in Kigali.
Maraga revealed that the observation teams will be deployed across all 30 districts in Rwanda’s four provinces and the City of Kigali.
Since their arrival in Kigali on July 8, 2024, the observers have engaged with various electoral stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the election preparations. This included training on regional and international election observation principles, practices, and ethics.
