Police in Tanzania have imposed a curfew following a tense polling day marked by protests and unrest in several parts of the country. Internet services have also been shut down, while several people have been injured during protests


 


Tanzania's October 29, 2025, presidential election saw incumbent Samia Suluhu Hassan favored for a second term, but protests erupted over the barring of key opposition parties like CHADEMA, whose leader Tundu Lissu remains jailed on treason charges.

The government's response—includng a nationwide internet shutdown and curfew in Dar es Salaam—mirrors tactics used in past East African polls, such as Uganda's 2021 election, to stifle dissent and limit real-time reporting.

Video footage in the post captures protesters demanding an independent electoral commission amid low turnout, highlighting a regional youth-driven push for reforms, with Afrobarometer data showing only 42% of Tanzanians trusted the process in 2023 surveys.
