Thomas Nahimana intended to run for president in August
An exiled leader of the Rwandan opposition, Thomas Nahimana, says he has formed a rival government to challenge incumbent President Paul Kagame.
The France-based opposition politician was recently banned from boarding a plane to Rwanda where he intended to stand in the presidential polls, due in August.
His political party, Ishema – pride – is not officially registered in Rwanda.
Some of the people he named as members of his parallel cabinet are currently serving prison time in Rwanda for crimes including threat to state security and “belittling” the 1994 genocide.
Rwandan officials have said Mr Nahimana is welcome to return home.
