Overview
- Police say they are searching for senior Chadema figures including secretary general John Mnyika, deputy Amaan Golugwa and communications chief Brenda Rupia after unrest in several cities.
- Prosecutors have charged 145 people with treason, adding to the earlier treason case against party chair Tundu Lissu filed in April.
- The election commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner with nearly 98 percent of the vote, and she was sworn in as she vowed decisive security action to prevent further unrest.
- Casualty figures remain unverified as the government has not released data, with Chadema and rights groups alleging hundreds to over 1,000 deaths and the UN rights office confirming at least ten.
- African Union observers deemed the vote not credible and reported manipulation, while information controls included an internet shutdown and warnings over sharing images that disrupted port operations in Dar es Salaam.
