BUJUMBURA, Burundi, June 30 (UPI) -- Burundians voters cast ballots Monday for a new parliament after weeks of violent political protests against President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for a third term.
Despite calls from the international community for the postponement of the parliamentary and local elections held Monday, and ahead of the July 15 presidential election, some voters pressed ahead to the voting stations. At least three polling stations were attacked.
