President William Ruto of Kenya has expressed doubt regarding Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu's 98 percent re-election victory, deeming such overwhelming results "unthinkable" in a country like Kenya. His comments came during an Al Jazeera interview, where he subtly questioned the credibility of elections in the region without directly criticizing Tanzania.

• President Ruto highlighted that Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's 2021 win was with 57 percent, not over 90 percent.
• The African Union (AU) Election Observation Mission deemed Tanzania's October 29 General Election flawed and not compliant with democratic standards.
• The AU Mission, led by former Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi, cited opposition boycotts, violence, and an internet blackout as factors compromising the integrity of the elections.
