Two Tanzanian lawyers have petitioned the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) to annul the country’s October 29, 2025 general election, citing alleged breaches of the East African Community (EAC) treaty and democratic norms. The case argues that actions before, during, and after the polls undermined electoral integrity. Separately, the Legal and Human Rights Centre has challenged a nationwide internet shutdown on election day. The EACJ is expected to set hearing dates in the coming weeks.
