Unclad photos of 35-year old Diane Shima Rwigara, Rwanda’s female Presidential candidate Leak

Barely a week after declaring her intention to contest in the August elections, Ms Diane Shima Rwigara's unclad photos have surfaced online. 

The photos which have now gone viral, show Ms Rwingara completely naked and striking poses in different positions inside a house.

The 35 year old daughter of a business tycoon who once bankrolled the Ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front announced her presidential bid on Wednesday.
According to her, she plans to run as an independent candidate against Paul Kagama.

"Everyone is scared to express themselves because they are too scared of the ruling party" She said, pleading to tackle poverty, injustice and security problems.

Online commentors say the compromising photos of Diane Shima Rwigara, could break  the internet, but possibly, not her spirit; the move to humiliate the woman, who has recently boldly come out to attack President Paul Kagame’s bad governance, is likely to attract criticism from women rights activists. 

 

In the conservative Rwandan society, Ms Rwigara is likely to get shunned by moralists, while the youth might warm up to her candidature but for only excitement.
 

However, analysts ask, “who will take seriously a woman who finds idle time to take Nude photos?”

Nudes are not new in Uganda, but no high profile woman has been rudely exposed to this extent. This has been a territory for musicians, socialites and corporate prostitutes.

How Rwigara will respond to this photo bomb will tell a lot about the substance she is made of. For now, an innocent act such as this is a little set back to the fire she had infused into her campaign…..(Watchdog Ug)

 No one has come out to claim responsibility for leaking the pics, though a section of people out there are of the view that this might not affect her that much citing Melania Trump's topless pics that were all over the net.

In the past, jilted lovers and those seeking cheap popularity have made those pics available in all angles, but in this case, it's not clear if politics has a hand in this, but like they say, it's a dirty game.

Diane is a daughter of late Rwandan tycoon, Assinapol Rwigira, who died in a car accident in 2015.

Rwigara joins Philippe Mpayimana running on an independent ticket, Democratic Green party head, Frank Habineza, and the incumbent, Paul Kagame making a total of four candidates so far.
