Burundi: Elections Without Opposition
Legislative and local elections in Burundi on June 5, 2025, took place in a context of severely restricted free speech and political space, Human Rights Watch said today. The Independent National Electoral Commission (Commission électorale nationale indépendante, CENI) announced on June 11 during a press conference that the ruling party had won 96.5 percent of votes and all elected national assembly seats. The ruling party also won almost every seat in the commune-level election. Ruling party officials and youths intimidated, harassed, and threatened the population and censored media coverage to secure a landslide victory. 'Burundians voted in an atmosphere devoid of genuine political competition as the ruling party further consolidated power,' said Clémentine de Montjoye, senior Great Lakes researcher at Human Rights Watch. 'Against a backdrop of growing discontent over a deepening economic crisis and systemic human rights failings, the ruling party took no chances in the elections.' The National Council for the Defense of Democracy-Forces for the Defense of Democracy (Conseil national pour la défense de la démocratie-Forces pour la défense de la démocratie, CNDD–FDD), in power since 2005, has sought to dismantle all meaningful opposition, including from its main rival, the National Congress for Freedom (Congrès national pour la liberté, CNL). Several opposition parties, including the CNL, the Patriots' Council (Conseil des Patriotes, CDP), and the Union for National Progress (Union pour le progrès national, UPRONA) denounced irregularities in the vote. Senatorial and further local elections are scheduled for July 23 and August 25, respectively, and the next presidential polls will be in 2027. In the days following the vote, Human Rights Watch spoke with local activists, journalists, private citizens, and a member of the ruling party's youth league – the Imbonerakure – who spoke of intimidation and irregularities in both the lead-up to the election and during the voting. Media reports and witness accounts indicate that the voting on June 5 was overwhelmingly dominated by the ruling party. 'The Imbonerakure were in front of the polling station telling people to vote for the ruling party,' said a voter in the town of Bururi. 'All the workers at the polling station were members of the ruling party. The head of the polling station himself told me to vote for the ruling party.' People interviewed in Bujumbura, the country's largest city, Cibitoke, and Rumonge described similar scenes at their polling places. A Burundian civil society organization reported the same patterns in Bubanza, Gitega, Makamba, and Ngozi. 'We were told to do everything necessary to make sure that people only voted for the CNDD-FDD,' the Imbonerakure member said. Opposition parties and witnesses said that opposition party representatives, journalists, and observers were prevented from entering polling places, including when votes were being counted. In several communes (municipalities), the number of votes cast reportedly exceeded the number of registered voters. Media and witnesses also reported ballot stuffing and the selective distribution of voter cards, excluding opposition members from voting. A coalition of radio stations, television channels, and print or online media outlets coordinated coverage of the elections, reportedly funded by the Ministry of Communication, Information Technology and Media, and all content produced had to be submitted to a central editorial team, which censored reports that did not align with the official narrative, media reported. A journalist told Human Rights Watch that officials of the electoral body told the media 'not to talk about irregularities.' In December, the electoral commission barred opposition candidates, including members of the opposition Burundi for All (Burundi Bwa Bose in Kirundi) coalition and the CNL, from contesting the June elections, effectively sidelining major opposition voices. Some were able to appeal the decision at the Constitutional Court, but presidential runner-up and former leader of the CNL, Agathon Rwasa, was among those still barred from running. In January 2024, the interior minister accused the CNL of collaborating with a terrorist organization, after which the party's general assembly voted to remove Rwasa from leadership. In April 2024, Burundi adopted a new electoral code that significantly raised candidate registration fees and imposed a two-year waiting period for those leaving political parties before they can run again, effectively ensuring that Rwasa would not be eligible. The authorities, aided by the Imbonerakure, forced the population to register to vote in late 2024, according to media reports and witness accounts. 'The population wanted to show that they don't see the point in this election, and tried to boycott the registration process,' said an observer in Cibitoke. 'They were forced [to register], prevented from accessing markets, healthcare centers, administrative services or going to the fields. The Imbonerakure were everywhere to intimidate people.' The African Union deployed an observation mission and issued a preliminary report on June 7 praising the 'peaceful' conduct of Burundi's legislative and communal elections. It also praised high voter turnout, the 'climate of freedom and transparency,' and media coverage. This stands in stark contrast to the AU's own normative framework on democracy, elections, and human rights, which emphasizes credible, inclusive, and transparent electoral processes. The International Conference on the Great Lakes Region and the Economic Community of Central African States also deployed observer missions. The Catholic Church, which has criticized previous elections, deployed observers but some were turned away from polling places. General elections in May 2020 took place in a highly repressive environment, marred by allegations of irregularities. Throughout the pre-election period, Imbonerakure members committed widespread abuses, especially against people perceived to be against the ruling party, including killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary arrests, beatings, extortion, and intimidation. Burundians have told Human Rights Watch that they feel growing frustration at the ruling party's governance, at a time when the population is facing a 40 percent annual inflation rate, chronic shortages, significant discrepancies between official and unofficial exchange rates, limited foreign currency reserves, and a fuel crisis that has crippled transport for years. The escalating conflict in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, which has jeopardized cross-border trade and prompted the arrival of over 70,000 refugees and asylum seekers since January 2025, as well as cuts in donor funding have further compounded the situation. In February, Burundian authorities expelled the director and security officer of the United Nations World Food Programme from the country, after they reportedly advised staff to stock up on essential goods. Civil society and opposition figures continue to report ongoing harassment, extortion, arbitrary detention, and beatings by the Imbonerakure and the authorities as the government remains deeply hostile to perceived criticism. Article 25 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Burundi is a party, states, 'Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity … [t]o vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors.' 'Burundi's democracy has been hollowed out, with a ruling party unaccountable to its people and unwilling to tolerate dissent, even as economic desperation grows,' de Montjoye said. 'Without credible opposition, this election only further entrenches authoritarian rule and pushes Burundians further into a deeply rooted governance crisis.'

From lab coats to presidency: Meet the first female president of Mauritius
It's not often that one meets a global leader who can speak about molecular structures and macroeconomics, sustainability and leadership values in the same breath. Gracefully toggling between biodiversity and diplomacy, climate change and constitutional reform, Dr. Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, the first female President of Mauritius, is a renowned biodiversity scientist who walks an extraordinary path that connects science, sustainability, and social change. If there was one thing that came to the fore during the talk she gave in Dubai at the Global Justice, Love and Peace Summit recently it was her quiet conviction of having consistently chosen purpose over prestige. 'I was very privileged to have been able to take the risk,' she says, reflecting on her unlikely leap into politics. 'I don't have any political background, and we don't come from a political family. But when the offer came, I didn't hesitate.' Before becoming president, Dr. Gurib-Fakim was Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Mauritius, where she also served as Dean of the Faculty of Science and Pro Vice Chancellor. With a PhD from the University of Exeter, the founder of the Centre for Phytotherapy Research has led and coordinated numerous international research initiatives on medicinal and aromatic plants and worked closely with organisations like the World Bank, UN, and the EU all through her career. That leap of faith to politics wasn't made blindly. Encouragement from her father - 'my cheerleader' - paved the way for her to step into a male-dominated arena and make history. And she did so not by abandoning her roots as a scientist, but by carrying them with her to the highest office in her land. 'My scientific background really helped,' explains the soft-spoken, and down-to-earth world leader, on the sidelines of the Global Justice, Love and Peace Summit that was held at the Dubai Expo earlier this year. 'I defined my presidency through the lens of sustainability, and of course, climate change.' The timing was serendipitous: during her term (2015-18), two landmark events unfolded - the ratification of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. Dr. Gurib-Fakim didn't just witness them; she shaped conversations around them. 'I took it to that level where I could help bring attention to these issues,' she says, her eyes lighting up with the memory. 'Then the UN Secretary-General appointed me to co-chair the SDG 6 on water. That was very special.' Dr. Gurib-Fakim makes it also clear that having a strong mentor helped her transition from laboratory to leadership. 'I had a mentor in [former Indian President] APJ Abdul Kalam. He was a scientist as well, and he did a wonderful job. People used to refer to him as the Rocket Man. 'So I suppose I could be called the 'Science Woman',' she says with a laugh. 'But you know, we need that kind of rational thinking. We need more scientists at the helm,' she says. 'We need more technocrats with a science background. We need that input of science to understand the quality of education, to understand how we can improve food sovereignty and food security through the lens of science. So we need more technically wise leadership.' If that's the case, the 'Science Woman' has also become something of a global conscience. Her advocacy for STEM education, especially for girls, resonates deeply in a world still struggling with gender equity. Is there a piece of advice she can offer women? 'Take risks. Believe in yourself. And never give up,' she says. Any tips for leaders? 'Leaders have to learn to listen,' she says, a lesson earned through real-time governance. 'Unfortunately, many don't. And that's why they don't stay in office very long.' She is convinced that what makes a leader great in times of upheaval is ensuring they are 'in the midst of competent people'. 'You don't need to know everything. But you need to listen to those who do, and make decisions based on facts', she says without hesitation. Facts. Data. Evidence. These are more than scientific tools for Dr. Gurib-Fakim; they are a philosophy. And yet, she is far from robotic. Her love for her island nation is deeply emotional. 'Mauritius is in one of the world's biodiversity hotspots,' she says. 'Just one square kilometre of our land holds more diversity than the entire European continent. And it provides ecosystemic support to all of us, especially the most vulnerable.' A prolific author and advocate for sustainable development, Dr. Gurib-Fakim has published 28 books and numerous scientific papers including co-authoring the first African Herbal Pharmacopoeia. She has been honoured globally for her scientific contributions, receiving the L'Oréal-UNESCO Prize for Women in Science and the African Union Award for Women in Science But her reverence for nature isn't just about conservation; it's about justice. 'People don't realise that biodiversity underpins life on Earth. That's why we must drive the global conversation on its preservation.' And she believes small island nations like Mauritius can lead that conversation. 'We've learned to leverage our strategic positioning. We can be the bridge between Asia and Africa. There's so much we can do together.' A strong advocate for sustainable development, climate change action, and the advancement of education and innovation across Africa, her vision for Mauritius as a connector not just geographically, but ideologically is compelling. It's a place where science meets culture, and where tradition embraces innovation. It's a place where girls can grow up dreaming not just of breaking glass ceilings, but of redesigning the whole structure. But this dream won't realise itself. 'Investment, investment, investment,' she says when I ask what it will take to unlock Africa's scientific potential. 'In infrastructure, in people, in professionalism. Education should never be treated as an expense; it's an investment.' For a woman who has achieved so much, Dr. Gurib-Fakim remains remarkably grounded. Asked how she maintains her balance, she smiles and says simply: 'Do good, think good, and do plenty of exercise.' Her sources of inspiration are rooted in the Global South - a term she wears with pride. 'Some people tend to use it derogatorily, but I'm proud to say I'm from the Global South. Think of the wisdom we have with its incredible thinkers and writers.' Her voice grows more passionate: 'We have to pull from the knowledge and the wisdom of these great people and push forward. Sustainability must drive the world of the future.' Passionately working to advance awareness of global warming and to promote new investments in science and technology in Mauritius and greater Africa, Dr. Gurib-Fakim believes science isn't just about the pursuit of knowledge. It's about the application of knowledge to build a just, sustainable, and inclusive world. 'Anything that touches on education or that kind of support should not be treated as an expense, but as an investment,' she says.
