1. CNDD-FDD unsuccessfully attempted to change it to enable President Nkurunziza to run for the third mandate. Very probably, he will do so anyway and will justify his decision by saying that he was elected indirectly in 2005 and a victory in 2015 would only be his second "real" (direct) mandate from the population. If an opportunity for political turnover arises at all, it will likely be related to a weakening of CNDD-FDD via factionalism, struggle over succession in 2020 (in case CNDD-FDD fails again to amend the Constitution), etc. rather than a sudden increase in popular support for the opposition;Bibliography Amnesty International,2014
