The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda is a green political party in Rwanda.

History

The party was established on 14 August 2009, and aimed to contest the 2010 presidential elections. However, it was prevented from registering.[1] The party's vice-president, André Kagwa Rwisereka, was found beheaded during the election campaign.[2] [3]

The party was registered in August 2013, but too late to contest the 2013 parliamentary elections.[4]
