My dearest apologies edit

I would like to apologize for my recent edits concerning the Presidency of Burundi. I took down what I thought was unsourced and wrong edit. Part of my confusion was when it stated that “ absence or temporary impediment of the President of the Republic, the First Vice-President will assure the management of current affairs and if the First Vice-President is unavailable, then the Second Vice-President.” this lead me to believe that the absences also included death, but I later learned that it is different if the President dies. Another reason for me removing the edit was that I found no article’s relating to the new President of Burundi. So in good faith removed the edit from the article. But after further investigation, I found a article conforming the conformation of the new acting President and so I restored the original edit to way it was before I changed it. Again my dearest apologies to everyone.BigRed606 (talk) 21:58, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Nyabenda is not yet acting president edit

As of June 12, the Presidency remains vacant. On June 11 the Government asked the Constitutional Court to determine the modalities of filling the vacancy.--Zarateman (talk) 11:16, 12 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

No interim edit

There was no interim by Nyabenda in 2020. The Constitutional Court ruled that since the constitution provide for an interim by the president of the national assembly to organise new presidential election, and that there already was a president elect from the recent one, there was no need for an interim one. The court instead ordered for the intronisation of president elect Pierre Nkurunziza to take place as soon as possible, leading to it happening on 18 June instead of 20 August.

Article 121 of the constitution state that an interim by the National assembly's president start once the Constitutional court constate the vacancy of the presidence. The court did so on 12 June, but in the same ruling named the president elect as president instead, as stated above.--Aréat (talk) 01:06, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
