The Republic of Burundi held communal elections on 3 June and 7 June 2005.
On 3 June, voters went to the polls to choose 3,225 communal councilors (25 seats per Commune; A total of 129 Communes). The election was largely peaceful in most parts of the country, however, violence and intimidation in some communes of Bujumbura Rural and Bubanza provinces led to a re-poll held on 7 June. Observers considered the communal elections generally free and fair, despite some minor irregularities. [1]
The elections were won by the National Council for the Defense of Democracy-Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD), who captured 55% (1,781) of the seats.
