Incumbent Burundi president wins disputed election. In spite of widespread civilian unrest, and a constitutional two-term limit on the presidency, Burundi's incumbent president Pierre Nkurunziza won a third term in office after receiving 69.41% of the vote in last week's presidential election. Several opposition parties boycotted the election, which was condemned by the United Nations and the United States as lacking credibility.

Turkish political leadership discusses constitutional reform.  In their ongoing negotiations to forge a coalition government, delegates from the Justice and Development Party and the Republican People's Party have agreed to draft a new constitution, but still disagree on a number of other key issues. If the parties are unable to come to an agreement and form a coalition government, the president may call for early parliamentary elections.
