On Friday, June 28, 2024, the Union of Cross-Border Lorry Drivers in Rwanda (ACPLRWA) launched a campaign to promote RPF Inkotanyi candidate Paul Kagame for the next five-year presidential term.
The event took place in Gikondo Sector, Kicukiro District, where numerous members gathered to confirm their support for Kagame, expressing their pride in his leadership and the progress he has brought to the nation.
During the event, Kanyagisaka Justin, the president of ACPLRWA, highlighted the significant achievements that Kagame’s leadership has brought to Rwandans, particularly those in the lorry driving sector. “Under Kagame’s leadership, the development of our country has been remarkable,” Justin stated.
“Before his tenure, the number of lorry cars was very limited, and the conditions for drivers were challenging. Today, we have seen substantial growth in our industry, providing opportunities not only for current drivers but also for the youth aspiring to join this profession.”
Justin further emphasized the importance of Kagame’s continued leadership for the ongoing progress and stability of the nation.
“The improvements we’ve experienced in the past years have been transformative. Our industry, which once struggled, now thrives. We believe that Kagame’s vision and commitment are crucial for maintaining this positive trajectory,” he added.
ACPLRWA has been in operation for 33 years, serving as an association of truck drivers working across borders and within Rwanda. The union boasts more than 1,000 drivers who operate in various countries within the region, contributing significantly to the economic development and regional integration of Rwanda.
The campaign event in Gikondo Sector was a testament to the strong support that Kagame enjoys among the cross-border lorry drivers. The members of ACPLRWA reiterated their confidence in his leadership and their desire for him to guide the country until 2029. As the campaign progresses, the union aims to mobilize further support for Kagame, ensuring that the gains achieved under his leadership continue to benefit all Rwandans.
The launch of this campaign underscores the pivotal role that Paul Kagame has played in Rwanda’s development and the high expectations that the Union of Cross-Border Lorry Drivers has for his continued leadership.
