Power-sharing is respected in State institutions in accordance with the fundamental principles set out under Article 10 of the Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda and the provisions of other laws. The President of the Republic and the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies cannot belong to the same political organisation as provided for by the Constitution in article 62.

Cabinet members are selected from political organisations on the basis of seats held by those political organisations in the Chamber of Deputies. However, a political organisation holding the majority of seats in the Chamber of Deputies cannot have more than fifty per cent (50%) of Cabinet members. It is not prohibited for other competent persons to be appointed to the Cabinet.
