Similar detailed schedules have also been laid out for Rubirizi Town Council, Macambo, Ryeru, and Rutoto. For example, in Kichwamba, Cadet Benjamin will kick off the events.
The Katerera Parliamentary constituency is set for a three-horse race, featuring an eight-week campaign programme structured by sub-county and town council.
Campaigns begin in Week 1 with Muganzi Benjamin (NUP) in Katerera Town Council and Atwijukire Boaz (Independent) in Kyabakara. Notably, Hon. Kato Mohammed Haule (NRM) is without a venue for the first three weeks.
The schedule ensures all candidates will rotate through major areas, including Katerera Town Council, Katerera Sub-county, Kirugu, Katanda, and Kyabakara.
The race for the Rubirizi District Chairperson’s seat features four candidates who will embark on a rigorous campaign, criss-crossing ten sub-counties and town councils in a series of two-to-three-day stops.
The comprehensive programme schedule serves as a critical framework for candidates, security agencies, and the public to ensure a peaceful, organised, and transparent campaign period leading up to the 2026 general elections.
