Tanzania Releases Senior Opposition Leaders Amid Post-Election Protests

Police in Tanzania have released several senior opposition figures who were detained after deadly protests following last month’s disputed elections, according to the main opposition party, Chadema. Four senior Chadema officials, arrested for their alleged involvement in the demonstrations, were released on bail on Monday. Among those freed were Chadema vice chairman John Heche and deputy secretary-general Amani Golugwa. Heche had been arrested on October 22 on suspicion of terrorism, while Golugwa was detained over the weekend. Other officials released include Godbless Lema, a member of Chadema’s central committee, and Boniface Jacob, chairman of the party’s coastal region branch.

Timi Frank condemns rigged elections in Tanzania, Cameroon, Ivory Coast

Political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the recent elections in Tanzania, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast, describing them as “sham exercises” and “a disgrace to Africa.” Frank alleged that the polls were marked by manipulation, intimidation, and political violence, claiming they were selections rather than genuine elections. “These elections are a disgrace and shame to Africa,” he said. “In this 21st century, the continent should be making democratic progress, but what we see instead is the growing culture of rigging, violence, and oppression.” He urged the United Nations (UN), United States (US), and the European Union (EU) not to recognise or congratulate the outcomes of such elections, warning that failure to act could push Africa into further instability. “If nothing is done, this systematic rigging may soon lead […]

Cameroon Opposition Leader Issa Tchiroma Declares Victory Before Official Results

In a nearly five-minute video statement posted on social media early Tuesday, Tchiroma proclaimed himself the winner and urged President Paul Biya, the 92-year-old incumbent, to concede defeat. “The people have chosen, and this choice must be respected,” he said in the video, calling on Cameroonians to defend what he described as a “historic transition.” However, the government quickly cautioned that only the Constitutional Council has the legal authority to declare results. The body has up to two weeks to release the official outcome. Tchiroma, once a government spokesman and close ally of Biya for two decades, resigned in June to mount a challenge. His campaign drew massive crowds and endorsements from a coalition of opposition groups — making him the strongest challenger Biya has faced in years. Despite this, analysts widely expected Biya — Africa’s longest-serving leader with 43 […]

Malawi’s Chakwera concedes election defeat to Mutharika

Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera has conceded defeat in last week’s election, acknowledging that opposition candidate Peter Mutharika has secured an “insurmountable lead.” In a national address on Wednesday, Chakwera, 70, of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), confirmed he had personally called Mutharika to congratulate him ahead of the official results. “A few minutes ago, I called Professor Mutharika to wish him well,” Chakwera said. “It is clear my rival has an insurmountable lead over me.” Chakwera came to power in 2020 after defeating Mutharika, a constitutional law expert and candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). This time, however, the economy dominated the polls, with critics blaming Chakwera for mismanagement, corruption, and rising costs of living. During his term, inflation surged to 33 percent, while the prices of maize and fertiliser—the backbone of Malawi’s agriculture-based economy—soared, worsening hardship in the […]
