Burundi’s ruling party candidate has won the presidential election held last week, securing 68.72% of the vote, the electoral commission said on Monday.
Evariste Ndayishimiye, a retired general, will take over from President Pierre Nkurunziza, after he beat the main opposition candidate Agathon Rwasa, and five others, avoiding a runoff by securing more than 50% of the vote.
The elections held in the country amid the COVID-19 scare.
