History
The party was formed in the Mugunga refugee camp in the Zaire on 3 April 1995 as the Rally for the Return of the Refugees and Democracy in Rwanda (Rassemblement pour le Rétour des réfugiés et la Démocratie au Rwanda).[1] Its first president was Francois Nzabahimana, who had served as Minister of Commerce in the early 1990s.[1] In 2003 the party was renamed the Republican Rally for Democracy in Rwanda.[1]
