President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been re-elected in Tanzania’s presidential election, securing 98% of the votes amid significant unrest that has reportedly resulted in hundreds of deaths. International observers raised concerns over election transparency and violence, with a nationwide internet shutdown complicating verification efforts. Protests led by young demonstrators have erupted, denouncing the election as unfair and accusing the government of suppressing opposition candidates. Human rights groups criticized the government’s actions ahead of the election, while officials maintained that the process was free and fair.
