The ruling CNDD-FDD party retained its majority in the National Assembly of Burundi. BackgroundBurundi has suffered from political instability since before 2015, with many Burundians leaving the country. A new constitution was adopted after a referendum held in May 2018. When President Pierre Nkurunziza announced he would not seek to be elected for a fourth term, the ruling CNDD-FDD party chose the retired army general Evariste Ndayishimiye as their candidate.[1] The United Nations Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry on Burundi said the election campaign that officially started in April 2020 was "characterized by an increase in political intolerance and numerous acts of violence and human rights violations". The government did not allow observers from the United Nations and the African Union to the monitor the 2020 elections, claiming that they were too close to the opposition.[1] ElectionThe elections for the National Assembly were held on 20 May 2020. Out of 5,113,418 registered voters 4,464,359 cast their votes, for a 87.3% turnout. The ruling National Council for the Defense of Democracy – Front for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) took 72 of the 100 seats up for election, while the National Congress for Liberty (CNL) led by Agathon Rwasa took 27 seats.[1] 72 Hutus and 28 Tutsis were directly elected. Of these, 35 were women. The constitution requires a 60:40 Hutu-Tutsi balance, with 30% per cent women. 20 Tutsis, of whom 9 were men and 11 women were co-opted to reach these ratios. Also, 3 Twas were coopted as representatives, including one woman.
