NAIROBI (Reuters) - Burundi's constitutional court has said last month's elections were flawless and upheld the victory of the ruling party's presidential candidate, dismissing a complaint brought by the vote's runner-up.
The vote was the first competitive presidential election in Burundi since a civil war erupted in 1993. The ruling CNDD-FDD party's candidate, retired general Evariste Ndayishimiye, was running against opposition leader Agathon Rwasa and five others.
