Answer

Pierre Nkurunziza controversially served as president of Burundi for three terms. He was elected in 2005 and reelected in 2010 and 2015. However, his third term was controversial because the constitution of Burundi limits presidents to two terms. Nkurunziza's supporters argued that the constitution did not apply to him because he was elected under a transitional constitution.
