Preliminary results from Wednesday’s elections in Tanzania show President John Magufuli leading his main challenger Tundu Lissu with a comfortable margin which could give him a landslide victory.

And even before the official results have been announced, Lissu has dismissed the exercise as a mockery of democracy and a fraud against the 29 million voters.
