The Rwanda Muslims Community will on Sunday, May 26, elect a new Mufti to replace Sheikh Salim Hitimana, who has led the community since 2016.
The elections for the Mufti and his executive team were initially set to take place at the end of 2020, but the process was disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, according to Sheikh Suleiman Mbarushimana, the advisor to the Mufti.
Besides the executive, at the national level there is the Supreme Muslim Council of Rwanda, which comprises 61 people including Imams from all 30 districts, five Imams at Provincial level and representatives of other special categories among others. Sheikh Mbarushimana also dismissed the claims saying their aim is to distort the image of the Muslim community in the country.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
