The 2005 Senate of Burundi sat from 2005 to 2010.
History
In a popular referendum on 28 February 2005 the people of Burundi overwhelmingly approved a post-transitional constitution.
Senate members were indirectly elected on 29 July 2005 by an electoral college of commune and provincial councils.
The National Council for the Defense of Democracy-Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD), which obtained the majority of seats in communal elections held in June, won an overwhelming majority (30) of the seats. The Front for Democracy in Burundi (FRODEBU) won 3 seats, while the remaining seat went the National Council for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD), a breakaway faction of the CNDD-FDD.
