Tanzania is holding its breath after the opposition rejected the outcome of elections, with its presidential candidate Edward Lowassa saying the polls had been rigged.
In a day of high political drama during which presidential results in the semi-autonomous region of Zanzibar were also nullified, Lowassa, the Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) presidential candidate, demanded the scrapping of the process and the halting of any further announcement of results.
