Thirteen National Resistance Movement (NRM) party members seek to replace the late Kisoro District Woman Member of Parliament Sarah Nyirabashitsi Mateke through a by-election later this year.
Campaigns ahead of party primaries started on Tuesday, a month after the ex-defense state minister died aged 50, following a short illness.
In the aftermath of her death, a section of Kisoro District leaders openly endorsed her young sister, Ruth Nyiraneza, to complete her term in parliament but she declined the endorsement.
On Tuesday, aspirants presented their manifestos to voters in joint campaigns at Busanza Secondary School playground and Gatete playground.
Campaign attendees were from Busanza, Mupaka, Nyarubuye sub-counties, and Rukundo Town Council with campaigns set to conclude on October 23.
