The Social Party Imberakuri (Kinyarwanda: Ishyaka ry’Imberakuri Riharanira Imibereho Myiza; French: Parti Social Imberakuri, PS-Imberakuri), is a political party in Rwanda.



History


The party was formed by Bernard Ntaganda on 14 December 2008 after he left the Social Democratic Party. Due to what the government ruled were illegal demonstrations, party leaders including Ntaganda were arrested on 24 June 2010 and released on 9 July 2010, although Ntaganda was denied bail, and sentenced to four years in prison in 2011.[1] He was released in 2014.


The party contested the 2013 parliamentary elections, failing to win a seat. However, it entered parliament after winning two seats in the 2018 elections.
