Burundi’s constitutional court has agreed that president-elect Evariste Ndayishimiye should be sworn in immediately following the death of former leader Pierre Nkurunziza, the government said in a statement posted to Twitter on Friday.

The court ruled, however, that “the interim period is not necessary and that ... Ndayishimiye must be sworn in as soon as possible”, the government said.
