Parliamentary and presidential elections due to take place in Burundi in May and June could be delayed in the wake of the coup attempt against President Pierre Nkurunziza, his office said on May 17. Nkurunziza's controversial bid for a third consecutive term in office has been at the centre of Burundi's political crisis, with activists and the opposition arguing it goes against the constitution and the peace deal that brought an end to the country's civil war in 2006.
