Burundi polls not free or credible, UN says

‘The United Nations (UN) observers have ruled that the recently held parliamentary elections in Burundi were not free or credible.

Farhan Haq, a UN spokesman, said on Thursday that the elections were not conducted in a credible political atmosphere and were marred by violence.

“The overall environment was not conducive for free, credible and inclusive elections,” the UN official said.

The elections on June 29 went ahead in the African country despite an international outcry and are slated to be followed by a presidential vote on July 17. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon had earlier called on Burundi to postpone the vote after the opposition announced a boycott, but the government rejected his appeal.’
