Bizimana received 21 votes out of 40 members.
“It’s an honor to be trusted again. Together with my newly elected committee, we are going to work with transparency,” said Bizimana.
His predecessor Murema expressed heartfelt gratitude for the collaboration with his committee throughout his time in service.
“This past year, the existing committee and I achieved significant progress in development. What I’m most proud of is that our board members gained a deeper understanding of their responsibilities. Since 2017, discipline has also greatly improved, allowing athletes to fully showcase their talents,” Murema said.
