page 415 note 14 The UN Commission for Ruanda-Urundi observed in its report that the replies to the referenda were in the negative and that, in both cases, the negative votes totaled 80 percent of the valid votes; thus, the electors of Ruanda had decided that the monarchy should officially be discontinued (see Document A/4994, p. 124). Since the coup d'état of lanuary 1961 there had been a republican regime in Ruanda with a president and a government which had been recognized de facto by the administering authority. In Urundi, on the other hand, the Mwami was the uncontested head of state.
