Pierre Nkurunziza literally came to power by saying "I will continue to kill people unless you make me president" so it's really no surprise that he sucks.

Jacques Bigirimana (National Liberation Forces, official candidate, Rwasa broke away for some reason) 1%

The only candidates I can confirm for sure didn't boycott were the National Union for Progress candidate (the only Tutsi on the ballot) and the National Liberation Forces candidate.

Jacques Bigirimana, who didn't boycott, appeared on the ballot as the FLN candidate.

Agathon Rwasa, who may have boycotted and has called the elections a sham, was listed as an independent.

Most international media has called Bigirimana's faction the break away faction.

So I'm guessing there was a split over whether or not to back the government, with Rwasa taking the actual supporters but Bigirimana keeping the name thanks to being friendly with the government.
