But only two are national mainstream parties - the Burundi Democratic Front (FRODEBU) – a predominantly Hutu party with some Tutsi members – and the Unity for National Progress (UPRONA) – a Tutsi dominated party with many Hutu members.
Others- National Council for the Defence of Democracy (CNDD); Burundi African Alliance for the Salvation (ABASA); Rally for Democracy and Economic and Social Development (RADDES); Party for National Redress (PARENA); People's Reconciliation Party (PRP) and the Movement for the Reabilitation of the Citizen (MRC).
Burundian politics has long been dominated by a rivalry between UPRONA, a predominantly Tutsi party that held power in Burundi from independence until 1993, and FRODEBU, the most important of a number of relatively moderate Hutu political parties.

It is constituted in Burundi a political party for the struggle and consolidation of democracy named Front pour la Démocratie au Burundi, with the abbreviated name Parti Sahwanya Frodebu.

 Concluding Observations - CERD - Burundi - Concluding observations adopted up to December 31, 2003
Foremost among them was the adoption by the Special Congress of the UPRONA (Union for National Progress) Party, in December 1990, of the Charter of National Unity, which was subsequently approved in a national referendum, with 89 per cent of the votes being cast in favour.
The predominance of Tutsis in the army should not be seen as an obstacle to national reconciliation, since it was a national army and its purpose was not to defend the Tutsis.
The Charter of National Unity constituted a general platform for the full exercise of all human rights, including the elimination of racial discrimination.
