Six senators took their oaths on Thursday, October 24, 2025, and promised to fulfill their responsibilities to benefit Rwanda's citizens. President Paul Kagame appointed Dr. Valentine Uwamariya and Alfred Gasana, while political parties elected Dr. Frank Habineza of the Green Party and Nkubana Alphonse of the PSP. Evode Uwizeyimana and Prof. Dusingizemungu Jean Pierre began their second terms after reappointment.

The Senate now has 26 members, with equal gender representation: 13 women and 13 men. Kagame emphasized that their work must connect national objectives with citizens' everyday experiences. He stressed that their decisions should address problems Rwandans face.

Dr. Uwamariya expressed appreciation for the president's confidence in her abilities and commitment to working effectively. Gasana pledged to serve with dedication and intelligence. Dr. Habineza assured continued advocacy for the people's interests. The new senators' terms end in October 2030, while 20 others complete their service in 2029.
