Tanzania Election Law Bars Court Review

S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Tanzania’s Constitution prevents courts from reviewing presidential election results once declared by the Electoral Commission, under Article 41(7). The clause has drawn criticism after Samia Suluhu Hassan won with 97.66% of the vote amid protests and reports of irregularities. Critics say the rule denies citizens legal recourse over alleged fraud, reinforcing presidential and party dominance under the long-standing Chama Cha Mapinduzi framework.
