The Front for Democracy in Burundi–Nyakuri (French: Front pour la Démocratie au Burundi–Nyakuri, FRODEBU-Nyakuri), also known as Sahwanya Frodebu Iragi rya Ndadaye, is a political party in Burundi.
History
The party was established in June 2008 as a breakaway from the Front for Democracy in Burundi (FRODEBU) by Jean Minani and eleven other party members.[1][2] Supportive of the governing CNDD–FDD, it took the name "Nyakuri", meaning "genuine".[1]
Although the 2010 parliamentary elections were boycotted by the opposition, FRODEBU-Nyakuri contested the elections, winning five of the 106 seats in the National Assembly.
