(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Polling stations opened in Burundi on Tuesday for a presidential election, dpa reported.
President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for a third term in office sparked
months of demonstrations in which about 80 people have been killed.
The election was postponed twice, from June 26 to July 15 and 21,
under pressure from the African Union, the European Union and the
United States.
About 3.8 million people have registered to vote.
