President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has delegated Vice President Maj. Jessica Alupo to represent him at the swearing-in ceremony of Rwandan President-elect Maj. Gen. Paul Kagame.

The inauguration ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, August 11, in the Rwandan capital, Kigali.

According to the Principal Private Secretary to the President, Gloria Asio Omaswa, following the Rwanda presidential election, Kigali invited President Museveni to attend the inauguration ceremony for President-elect H.E. Paul Kagame.

However, PPS Asio stated that the President will not be able to attend due to his busy schedule back home.

“H.E. Gen. Museveni has instead delegated you (Vice President) to represent him,” PPS Asio said in her letter dated August 5, 2024, addressed to H.E. the Vice President, Maj. Jessica Alupo.

Kagame was re-elected President of Rwanda in the presidential election that took place on July 14-15, 2024, where he emerged victorious with a landslide margin of over 95%.

Uganda and Rwanda enjoy cordial bilateral relations, facilitating strong trade and diplomatic ties between the two sister nations.
