Tanzania engaged the United Nations after widespread post-election violence and international criticism following the October 29, 2025, vote. President Samia Suluhu Hassan sent a senior envoy to UN Secretary-General António Guterres to discuss national unity and ongoing investigations into the unrest. The opposition party Chadema rejected the election results, called for a UN-supervised transitional government, and demanded new polls. The violence left hundreds dead, over 2,000 arrested, and raised concerns over electoral irregularities and civil rights.
