Until yesterday, Nyabihu District had no local district leadership following last week resignation of former Mayor Théoneste Uwanzwenuwe and vice-mayor in charge of social affairs, Clarisse Mukansanga.
Uwanzwenuwe resignation followed the March resignation of Vice-mayor in charge of Finance and Economic Development, Antoine Mugwiza and April resignation of the District Executive Secretary, James Ngabo.
On Monday, Musabimana who has been a member of the district council was elected by council members with 21 votes representing 95.5% out of 22.
She had been competing with Jean Marie Vianney Ntirugirimbabazi who is also the Public Sector Federation (PSF) Chairperson in Nyabihu.
Musabimana has been a primary head teacher at Groupe Scholaire Rega ADEPR in Jenda Sector.
The electoral law states that when there is no executive committee, the district council appoints interim leadership for the period not exceeding 90 days.
