Samia Suluhu's 98% Election Win in Tanzania Sparks Opposition Rejection and International Controversy - November 2025
After her victory in the 2025 General Election, Tanzania’s President-elect Samia Suluhu Hassan called for national unity. However, Chadema, Tanzania's main opposition party, rejected her 98% win as "illegitimate," citing a deadly crackdown on protests, mass arrests, and widespread intimidation. The party is demanding a fresh election overseen by an independent body.
