Tanzania’s main opposition party, Chadema, rejected President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s re-election, calling the vote a “coup” and refusing to recognize her presidency. The party said the October 29 election lacked fairness, citing barred candidates, internet shutdowns, and violence during protests. Rights groups and international bodies reported deaths and urged investigations. The African Union, East African Community, and EU called for calm and accountability. Kenyan politicians also questioned the silence of the EAC chairman, President William Ruto.
