He joined the primarily Tutsi Rwandese Patriotic Front when his brother, a colonel in the Rwandan Armed Forces, was assassinated, possibly on the orders of the government. His political party was unsatisfied with the Hutu government of Juvenal Habyarimana, that's one of the factors that led to the Rwanda genocide. In July 1994 the RPF (Rwandan Patriotic Front) gained control all over Rwanda, and established a new government, which Pasteur became president, and Paul Kagame, a Tutsi was chose as the vice-president. Bizimungu became the highest social and political rank among the Hutus. It is believed that Kagame had more control over the government than Bizimungu, that initiated a conflict, and it led to many political differences between both. Because of the political differences, Bizimungu quit his charge in March 2000, and Kagame became president. Bizimungu was held under home arrest for heading a radical Hutu Party, called Party for Democracy and Renewal.

In 1987 he joined the RPF (Rwuanda Patriotic Front) which was led by Pasteur Bizimungu, which objective was to derrocate the Hutu government. It was integrated by a majority of Tutsi's refugees, and considerate Hutus. At mediates of July 1994, the civil war began between Tutsi's and Hutu's. The president of that moment, Juvenal Habyarimana died in a plane crash, and for the next months, the genocide began, and more than 500,000 rwuandans were killed, and 1.000.000 had to run away; the RPF planned a last battle, that ended in victory for Paul's political party. When this happened, Pasteur Bizimungu was named president of Rwuanda, and Paul Kagame vice-president, and defense minister. In 2000, Kagame replaced Bizimungu's political charge, because Pasteur had quit his job.
