The Catholic Church in Tanzania has strongly condemned election-related killings, describing them as a stain on the nation's image and a violation of human dignity. Archbishop Yuda Thaddeus Ruwaichi emphasized that genuine peace requires justice, as calls for independent investigations mount.

• According to Archbishop Ruwaichi, chair of the Commission for Justice and Peace of the Tanzania Episcopal Conference, victims were shot while demonstrating and murdered in their homes, actions he called "senseless killings" and "an abomination before God."
• Former Botswana President Ian Khama stated he does not recognize President Samia Suluhu Hassan's administration, deeming it "illegitimate" due to alleged killings and election rigging.
• The treason case against opposition leader Tundu Lissu was postponed as he was not brought to court, with authorities citing "security concerns" for the witnesses' absence.
