UN observers: Burundi presidential vote not credible

United Nations observer mission said Monday that last week's presidential elections in Burundi were relatively peaceful but had not been "an inclusive free and credible" vote.

Separately, the 15 UN Security Council members plan to hold consultations on the crisis Tuesday.

In a preliminary report, UN observers said Thursday's vote, which saw President Pierre Nkurunziza re-elected, was marred by violence and obstacles to freedom of expression and the press.
