Provisional results from Burundi's parliamentary elections, that were boycotted by most of the opposition groups, show the ruling party has won a majority of the seats, AP reported. Electoral Commission chairman Claver Ndayicariye said Tuesday the ruling party CNDD-FDD has won 77 of 100 seats that were being contested. Burundi has been rocked by protests ahead of the elections this year because of President Pierre Nkurunziza's push for a third term in office. Protesters say Nkurunziza must go after serving two terms, the maximum allowed under the country's constitution. But Nkurunziza's supporters say he is eligible for a third term because he was chosen by lawmakers and not popularly elected for his first term, and the constitutional court has ruled in the president's favor.
