The United States congratulates Burkina Faso for its organization and implementation of municipal elections.  

We regret that populations in Zogore, Béguédo and Bouroum-Bouroum were not able to vote and hope that a solution is found that will allow them to vote.

We encourage everyone to accept the election results and to avoid violence. We invite all parties to work with existing institutions and use legal and peaceful means to address disputes.
