Trying to Enter Politics in Rwanda: Reality vs Expectation | Jessy Mugisha

from The Long Form Podcast · host LF MEDIA

This episode of The Long Form Podcast explores what it really takes to enter politics in Rwanda. Jessy Mugisha, a young independent parliamentary aspirant and businessman, shares his experience attempting to run in the 2024 elections and what he discovered about access, participation, and opportunity in the political system. We discuss youth engagement in Rwandan politics, the barriers facing independent candidates, and whether the system is truly open to ordinary citizens. The conversation also looks at his advocacy for street cleaners in Kigali and what it reveals about labor conditions, dignity, and social responsibility. This is a deeper look at governance, youth participation, and political reality in Rwanda — essential for anyone interested in East African politics, democracy, and civic engagement.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.comJoin our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media
