Provinces
Rwizikuru is officially divided into six provinces (Rwizi: mapurovhinzi, sing. purovhinzi) and one district (Rwizi: dunhu), since the promulgation of the Rwizikuran constitution. The provinces are run by a governor (Rwizi: mubati) who is appointed by the reigning monarch and serves at His Majesty's pleasure. The newest district is Gutaguru, established in 1978.
Functionally, provinces and districts have the same powers, that being (TBC).

Today, the powers of the local government areas in Rwizikuru are equivalent to those of cities or counties in other parts of the world.
As of 2023, there are 280 local government areas in Rwizikuru, with a median population of 138,941 as of the 2021 census.
