President Samia Suluhu pursued reconciliation after Tanzania’s disputed election by pardoning youths involved in protests, releasing senior opposition figures, and creating a commission to investigate killings. Opposition parties rejected the commission as biased and continued to challenge the near-98% election result, citing deadly repression and restricted participation. Despite her conciliatory measures, Tanzania faces heightened global scrutiny, with international partners questioning the credibility of its democratic institutions and the government’s commitment to political reforms.
