Change 2005 (French: Alternance 2005) was a political alliance in Burkina Faso (the former Upper Volta), founded to contest the presidential election in 2005.[1] The incumbent, Blaise Compaore, was standing for a third term and was expected to win despite claims that another term in office would be unconstitutional.[2] He was re-elected with 80.35% of the votes.[3]

Alternance 2005 was founded in December 2004 by 16 leftist parties. The grouping had put forward three candidates for the first round of the election: Hermann Yaméogo, president of Union nationale pour la démocratie et le développement (UNDD - National Union for Democracy and Development), Benewendé Stanislas Sankara of Union pour la renaissance/Mouvement sankariste (UNIR/MS - Union for Rebirth/Sankarist Movement) and Philippe Ouédraogo of the Parti africain de l'indépendance (PAI). However, Ouédraogo, later stood as a candidate for his own party, Rassemblement des écologistes du Burkina (RDEB - Rally of the Ecologists of Burkina) which announced its "retirement" from Alternance 2005 and supported its own candidate.[4]

Sankara, an MP, was one of the most prominent opposition figures in the election though few expected him to make an impression.[2] He received 4.88% of the vote.[citation needed]
