The main opposition party, Chadema, claims around 700 people have died in Tanzania due to post-election violence following Wednesday's virtually uncontested polls. Protests continued amidst an internet blackout, with foreign journalists largely banned from coverage.

• Chadema spokesman John Kitoka reported approximately 350 deaths in Dar es Salaam and 200+ in Mwanza.
• President Samia Suluhu Hassan's government is accused of repression, with main challengers jailed or barred from standing.
• Security sources reported hearing of over 500 deaths, potentially 700-800 nationwide; Amnesty International received information of at least 100.
