The main opposition party in Tanzania, CHADEMA, has condemned the ongoing general election, claiming it does not meet democratic standards and referring to it as a “coronation” rather than a genuine vote.
Deogratias Munishi, the party’s secretary for foreign affairs, told Kenya’s Citizen Television that the process lacks genuine competition.
The government has denied these allegations, insisting that the election is being conducted in a free, fair and transparent environment. It also rejected accusations of human rights violations and the abduction of opposition leaders during the campaign period.
During her campaign, Suluhu Hassan emphasized her government’s achievements in improving transport infrastructure and increasing electricity production, promising continued development for Tanzanians.
Preliminary results are expected to be released within three days.
