“The ruling party has won all the seats in the lower house of parliament. According to the provisional results announced on June 11, 2025 by the Ceni, the CNDD-FDD won the legislative elections of June 5, 2025 with 96.51% of the votes” (Shikiriza Burundi, 12.06.2025).
The legends of Uprona are now revived with CNDD-FDD. This legislative election done on the 5th June 2025 have just proved the goal and the CNDD-FDD succeeded. They have ensured itself the majority and total control. The other opposition parties are just side-pieces or non-existent.
In the Parliament the CNDD-FDD have all the Members of Parliament. In local government they have such a majority that the other parties are only having small fringe representation, which is cleverly pointless.
The authorities are allowing violence against opposition leaders, activists and silencing them. They go after the ones who didn’t vote for the CNDD-FDD. There are reports of Imbonerakure and other affiliates who are using violence and state sponsored brutality to target the dissidents. Therefore, the CNDD-FDD is just showing what it is.
The ones believing things will be better. They are wrong. The violence and brutality is normalized by the authorities. The state actions towards dissidents and the falling outs of its own. They are endangered, detained, tortured and possibly killed. The lucky ones are able to run into exile or seek asylum. That’s how the Republic is run, and it shows.
This election just show how cynical and how dire things are. Not like the CNDD-FDD cares or are concerned. No, they are just using force and violence to stay in office. They don’t mind and they are getting political capital doing so. Therefore, the 5th June polls just prove how far the state is willing to go to get “legitimacy” after forcing people to vote for itself.
This here isn’t it and the CNDD-FDD should be worried. They are creating a nation of oppressed people. They are creating a tense and uncertain atmosphere. As people cannot trust the authorities or the state, as it is only a tool for the ruling elite and the ones who are connected to weaponry.
The CNDD-FDD is making itself a “One-Party” State and doing it by default. As it squeezes everyone else out. They are doing it by every trick in the book. The few representatives in local government will be crushed too. They are only there for the books, but their voice will be meaningless.
The CNDD-FDD has finalized the run to become a “One-Party” state too. That’s what they have worked for, and the people has to suffer as a consequence of it. Peace.
