The photo was posted on the President’s Twitter page on Tuesday night carrying a baby in a happy mood, and the caption said that he had a wonderful weekend with “this little human being”.<\/p>\n

The head of state had recently announced that he had a granddaughter, after his daughter Ange Kagame and her husband Bertrand Ndengeyingoma gave birth to their firstborn on August 19, 2020.<\/p>\n

Ange Kagame Ingabire is the second child of President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame; she was married on July 6, 2019 during a very colourful and royal ceremony. It was at the end of December 2018 that Bertrand Ndengeyingoma officially asked her hand in marriage, in a traditional dowry ceremony that was held at President Kagame’s home in Rwamagana District in Muhazi Sector.<\/p>\n

On July 20, 2020, President Kagame announced the birth of the baby on Twitter saying that \u201cSince yesterday we are very happily and \u2018officially\u2019 grandparents. Congratulations A&B!! ..:):):) What a joy!?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cFirst time is even more exciting!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On September 6, in an interview with the public broadcaster, Rwanda Broadcasting Agency (RBA), President Kagame talked about his grandchild, for the first time, confirming that it was a girl and that he was enjoying being a grandparent for the very first time. <\/p>\n

The Head of State said that he takes time off his busy schedule to visit her, pointing out that he was promoted from being a father to being a grandfather and he was enjoying it. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe is a healthy girl, she is growing up fast, and when I get time after work, I rush to visit her,\u201d President Kagame said. Asked \u201cdo you go as President Kagame or as Kagame the grandparent?\u201d to which he replied: \u201dAs Kagame.\u201d<\/p>\n
