Overview
- Chadema reports roughly 700 people killed since Wednesday’s vote, citing counts from Dar es Salaam, Mwanza and other regions, while independent verification remains constrained.
- An Amnesty International researcher says they have information of at least 100 deaths and reports security forces stationed in hospitals to control the narrative.
- The UN human rights office called on Tanzanian security forces to avoid unnecessary or disproportionate force against protesters.
- Army chief Jacob Mkunda labeled demonstrators “criminals” and said defence forces are containing the situation, with internet access largely cut and a confinement order in Dar es Salaam.
- Nationwide results are still pending as state TV shows a CCM landslide; Zanzibar declared a ruling‑party win that ACT‑Wazalendo rejected as fraudulent, while Chadema was barred and its leader Tundu Lissu faces a treason trial.
