Burundi's electoral commission is to announce provisional results from last week's presidential election Monday, with the outgoing head of state's handpicked successor Evariste Ndayishimiye poised to be declared the winner.
Burundians voted last Wednesday to elect their president, lawmakers and local officials in a poll marked by allegations of fraud and conducted with scant attention to the coronavirus pandemic.
Partial results published by state media gave Ndayishimiye, 52, around 80 percent of the vote.
After a campaign marked by violence, the election was generally calm.
However, the CNL said several of its officials had been arrested and harassed, and alleged fraud.
