The elections took place during a consultative meeting held on June 29, 2025. This follows a previous round of elections in May 2025, which saw Protais Musoni re-elected as the chairperson of PAM Rwanda.
The newly elected commissioners will assume their three-year term beginning on July 1, 2025.
Athanasie Nyiragwaneza, the Secretary General of PAM Rwanda, outlined the priorities for the organization over the next three years.
These include strengthening the presence of PAM Rwanda representatives in villages and schools, as well as increasing the number of members.
Additionally, the organization plans to conduct research to address ongoing challenges related to African integration and foster stronger regional relationships.
Among the newly elected commissioners are prominent individuals such as Tito Rutaremara, Dr. Mulefu Alphonse, Amb. Vincent Karega, Amb. Joseph Mutaboba, Jean Bosco Rushingabigwi, and Amb. Williams Nkurunziza, among others.
Chantal Tuyishimire, one of the newly elected commissioners, shared her vision for the next three years.
She emphasized the importance of using information to understand challenges and find solutions, particularly in relation to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), while also prioritizing youth engagement.
PAM Rwanda Chairperson Musoni Protais, addressed the challenges Africa faces in achieving self-reliance, recognizing both internal and external factors.
He stressed that the solution lies in changing the mindset of Africans to overcome these challenges.
PAM was founded in 1946, after World War II, and Rwanda became a member in 2015.
The movement's goal is to inspire self-reliance and unity among Africans, aiming to make Africa a leading and influential force globally by 2063.
