Nairobi (AFP) - Burundi's president-elect Evariste Ndayishimiye is an army general likely facing a tricky balancing act to bring change to the troubled nation while pleasing the elites who put him in power.Ndayishimiye, 52, widely known by his nickname "Neva", was on Thursday declared the victor of a May 20 presidential election, after the country's top court dismissed an opposition bid to have the result overturned due to alleged widespread fraud.The general was handpicked by the ruling party to replace President Pierre Nkurunziza, who reigned for a tumultuous 15 years in the tiny landlocked country.Described by those who know him as more open-minded than many in the ruling CNDD-FDD party, he is not associated with the worst abuses of recent years.But neither did he stand out as trying to rein in the violence that erupted after the 2015 election, when Nkurunziza won a third term that was seen by many as unconstitutional.The violence that followed left 1,200 dead and sparked a refugee exodus.

In 2003, he was the party's main negotiator in ceasefire negotiations that ended the bloodshed.In the post-war years, Ndayishimiye held several high-tier positions in government, including minister of the interior and public security, and as the president's military and civilian chief of staff.Those who know Ndayishimiye personally describe two sides to the man -- one seemingly honest and open to consensus, but fiery and quick to temper.
