BUJUMBURA: Burundi’s main opposition group on Saturday announced it would boycott the country’s presidential poll delayed from July 15 to 21, arguing that nothing has been done to create favourable conditions for elections.
“The issue for elections is not the date, but conditions for a favourable climate for fair, credible and inclusive elections. We will not again go to the presidential poll,” Francois Bizimana, spokesman of the Burundians’ Hope independent opposition coalition told Xinhua.
