Political Background<\/h2>\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye started his political career with significant support from the Hutu ethnic group. He rose quickly up the ranks of the group during the civil war. Subsequently, he presided over its militia and military activities, where he got the nickname Neva.\n\nDuring the period of war, \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye worked tightly with Mr. Nkurunziza. He was with him during the Arusha peace talks between the government and FDD rebels. After a long series of agreements in 2003, the peace accord paved the way for the CNDD\u2013FDD to enter national politics as a political party. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye became deputy chief of staff of the Burundian Army after the 2003 peace accord. In 2005, the CNDD\u2013FDD came to power under the leadership of Mr. Pierre Nkurunziza whose background was comparable and had also fled the University of Burundi (UB) in 1995.\n\n\n\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye was named the Minister of the Interior and Public Security from 2006 to 2007. Subsequently, he became the personal military aide (chef de cabinet Militaire) to Nkurunziza. He held the position till 2014. While in office, he returned to law school at Wisdom University of Africa and even gained a degree in 2014. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye also chaired the Burundi National Olympic Committee during this period.\n\n\"Evariste-Ndayishimiye\"\n

Rise to Power <\/h2>\nAfter rising through opposition, President Nkurunziza announced in 2018 that he would not be contesting the fourth term as president in 2020. He then endorsed \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye a close ally as the candidate for his replacement. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye was chosen as a compromise between Nkurunziza and other CNDD\u2013FDD generals that wanted to ensure that a Civil War veteran retained control.\n\nHe was said to be the most open and honest candidate in the CNDD\u2013FDD. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye won the May 2020 presidential election. He won with 68 percent of the national vote. However, the fairness of the poll remains questionable. Oppositions claim the election was rigged. Controversial events during the polls seem to favor this line of thought. \n

He was inaugurated at a ceremony<\/a> in Gitega ten days after Nkurunziza's death and two months earlier than scheduled.\n\n\n

Presidency<\/h2>\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye pledged at the administrative capital in Gitega that he will not fail the unity charter and the constitution.

He announced his first cabinet ten days after his resumption to office. He reduced the cabinet ministers from 21 to 15 and mainly chose ex-regime hardliners to take up key positions.\n

Political Background<\/h2>\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye started his political career with significant support from the Hutu ethnic group.

Subsequently, he presided over its militia and military activities, where he got the nickname Neva.\n\nDuring the period of war, \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye worked tightly with Mr. Nkurunziza. He was with him during the Arusha peace talks between the government and FDD rebels. After a long series of agreements in 2003, the peace accord paved the way for the CNDD\u2013FDD to enter national politics as a political party. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye became deputy chief of staff of the Burundian Army after the 2003 peace accord. In 2005, the CNDD\u2013FDD came to power under the leadership of Mr. Pierre Nkurunziza whose background was comparable and had also fled the University of Burundi (UB) in 1995.\n\n\n\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye was named the Minister of the Interior and Public Security from 2006 to 2007.

While in office, he returned to law school at Wisdom University of Africa and even gained a degree in 2014. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye also chaired the Burundi National Olympic Committee during this period.\n\n\"Evariste-Ndayishimiye\"\n

Rise to Power <\/h2>\nAfter rising through opposition, President Nkurunziza announced in 2018 that he would not be contesting the fourth term as president in 2020. He then endorsed \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye a close ally as the candidate for his replacement. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye was chosen as a compromise between Nkurunziza and other CNDD\u2013FDD generals that wanted to ensure that a Civil War veteran retained control.\n\nHe was said to be the most open and honest candidate in the CNDD\u2013FDD. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye won the May 2020 presidential election. He won with 68 percent of the national vote. However, the fairness of the poll remains questionable. Oppositions claim the election was rigged.

Political Background<\/h2>\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye started his political career with significant support from the Hutu ethnic group. He rose quickly up the ranks of the group during the civil war. Subsequently, he presided over its militia and military activities, where he got the nickname Neva.\n\nDuring the period of war, \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye worked tightly with Mr. Nkurunziza. He was with him during the Arusha peace talks between the government and FDD rebels. After a long series of agreements in 2003, the peace accord paved the way for the CNDD\u2013FDD to enter national politics as a political party. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye became deputy chief of staff of the Burundian Army after the 2003 peace accord. In 2005, the CNDD\u2013FDD came to power under the leadership of Mr. Pierre Nkurunziza whose background was comparable and had also fled the University of Burundi (UB) in 1995.\n\n\n\n\u00c9variste Ndayishimiye was named the Minister of the Interior and Public Security from 2006 to 2007. Subsequently, he became the personal military aide (chef de cabinet Militaire) to Nkurunziza. He held the position till 2014. While in office, he returned to law school at Wisdom University of Africa and even gained a degree in 2014. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye also chaired the Burundi National Olympic Committee during this period.\n\n\"Evariste-Ndayishimiye\"\n

Rise to Power <\/h2>\nAfter rising through opposition, President Nkurunziza announced in 2018 that he would not be contesting the fourth term as president in 2020. He then endorsed \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye a close ally as the candidate for his replacement. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye was chosen as a compromise between Nkurunziza and other CNDD\u2013FDD generals that wanted to ensure that a Civil War veteran retained control.\n\nHe was said to be the most open and honest candidate in the CNDD\u2013FDD. \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye won the May 2020 presidential election. He won with 68 percent of the national vote. However, the fairness of the poll remains questionable. Oppositions claim the election was rigged. Controversial events during the polls seem to favor this line of thought. \n
