Tanzania's Election Fraud Sparks Mass Protests
Mass protests have erupted across Tanzania following a fraudulent vote that secured President Samia Suluhu Hassan and the ruling CCM another term in power.
The protests, which are the largest anti-government mobilisations since Tanzania's independence, have taken place in cities such as Dar es Salaam and Arusha, with thousands of workers, youth, and the urban poor denouncing the engineered vote.
- The vote was stage-managed to guarantee Hassan's victory.
- The government ensured that no genuine opposition could compete.
The vote for president, the 400-seat parliament, and lawmakers of the semi-autonomous Zanzibar archipelago was manipulated to secure victory for President Samia Suluhu Hassan and the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (Party of the Revolution—CCM).
Tundu Lissu, leader of the pro-business CHADEMA (Party for Democracy and Progress), was arrested in April on treason charges and faces the possibility of a death sentence.
