In the 2020 General Election, President John Pombe Magufuli stunned many when he won more than 80 per cent of the vote amidst protests of vote-rigging and violence.

Five months later, as President Magufuli lay dead, his 60m compatriots were in shock not knowing what to believe considering how in five years, President Magufuli had had a firm grip on the country.
