Princess Esther Kamatari, a former top model on Paris catwalks, is registered as the presidential candidate for the Party for the Restoration of Monarchy and Dialogue in Burundi (Abahuza).
Kamatari, who is a published author and conducted relief work for Burundians during her Paris exile, is promoting the return of the kingdom as a unifying force for the war-torn country.
