Issued August 7, 2026

The African Democratic Alliance for Freedom and Progress (ADAFP) was honoured to participate in the evening vigil and funeral ceremonies of our late founding member, Hon. Senator Donatille Mukabalisa, former Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of Rwanda and leader of the Liberal Party of Rwanda.
Representing the President of ADAFP, Hon. Mmusi Maimane, and the entire ADAFP family, Mr. Andrew Ankunda, Leader of the ADAFP Uganda Chapter, attended the vigil and funeral ceremonies in Kigali and delivered the President's message of condolence and tribute to the family, friends, colleagues, and members of the Liberal Party of Rwanda.
The message was warmly received by the family, who expressed their appreciation for ADAFP's solidarity and support during this difficult time. They also deeply valued the Alliance's recognition of Senator Mukabalisa's important contribution to the establishment and development of ADAFP.
ADAFP stands in solidarity with the Mukabalisa family, the Liberal Party of Rwanda, and the people of Rwanda as we mourn a distinguished African democrat, a founding leader of our Alliance, and a dear friend whose contribution and legacy will remain part of ADAFP's history.
May Hon. Senator Donatille Mukabalisa rest in eternal peace.
