Burkina Faso's Constitutional Council has rejected the chosen nominee of the ousted President Blaise Compaore's party prompting threats of a boycott of the presidential elections slated to be held in October.
On Saturday, Eddie Constance Konboigo, head of Compaore's Congress for Democracy and Progress party, was among six candidates barred from running, along with Gilbert Noel Ouedraogo of the ADF/RDA grouping that was allied to the former leader's administration.
