Preliminary results announced Sunday evening by the National Electoral Commission (NEC) show that Mussolini won 75.6% votes equivalent to 485 individuals from the voting representatives of people with disabilities around the country.
Having physical disability himself, Mussolini defeated nine candidates including Gaston Rusiha who was an MP in the immediate last term.
NEC President Prof. Kalisa Mbanda said the poll for the representation of people with disabilities started at 10 am and closed around midday in the districts across the country.
He said the elections were held in a peaceful and transparent environment.
Mussolini has been the Executive Secretary of the National Council of People with Disabilities (NCPD) in Gasabo District, Kigali.
He doubled as a member of Gasabo advisory council.
The voting council of people with disabilities consists of 668 but only 641 participated in the poll yesterday, representing 96% of the total voters.
People with disabilities have one representative in the parliament as the Constitution puts it.
