Tanzania’s main opposition party, CHADEMA, has rejected the presidential election results announced by the National Electoral Commission (NEC).

In a statement, the party argued that despite the commission announcing that Suluhu won with over 96 per cent of votes, no legitimate election took place on October 29, urging the international community not to recognise President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
