Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

Ivorians Vote Amid Tensions Over President Ouattara’s Fourth-Term Bid

Ivorians will head to the polls on Saturday, October 25, for a tense presidential election marked by anger and controversy over incumbent President Alassane Ouattara’s decision to seek a fourth consecutive term. Under the Ivorian constitution, a president is limited to two terms. However, Ouattara insists that the 2016 constitutional revision “reset” his term count, allowing him to run again. The move has ignited widespread criticism and rekindled fears of political instability in the West African nation. Ivory Coast, the world’s top cocoa and cashew nut producer, stands as a key economic hub in the region and West Africa’s second-largest economy. The country of 32 million, located between Ghana and Liberia, is rich in rainforests and coastal beauty. Nearly a quarter of the population resides in the commercial capital, Abidjan, while the official administrative capital is Yamoussoukro. French remains the […]

Millions Join ‘No Kings’ Anti-Trump Protests Across US Cities

Millions of Americans participated in "No Kings" protests across major US cities, voicing strong opposition to President Donald Trump's policies and his expansion of presidential power. The large but peaceful demonstrations took place in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Protesters held signs with slogans like "Democracy not Monarchy," expressing concern that the administration's actions are a threat to American democracy. Since returning to office, President Trump has used executive orders to dismantle parts of the federal government and deploy National Guard troops to cities against the wishes of state governors. Protesters say these moves are unconstitutional. In a pre-taped interview, Trump responded to the rallies, stating, "I'm not a king." Prominent Democratic politicians, including Senator Bernie Sanders, joined the protests. Sanders told a crowd in Washington DC, "We're not here because we hate America, we're here because […]

UNYF Urges INEC Chair to Remove Barriers to PVC Collection

The Unified Nigeria Youth Forum (UNYF) has urged the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, to prioritise accessibility, transparency, and accountability in managing Nigeria’s electoral process. In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Forum’s National President, Comrade Toriah Olajide Filani, said the credibility of future elections depends largely on how inclusive and accessible voter registration and Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection become under the new leadership. Filani expressed concern that millions of eligible Nigerians remain unable to obtain their PVCs due to administrative bottlenecks and limited access to registration centres, especially in rural areas. “Despite the introduction of digital systems, many citizens lack internet access or the infrastructure to benefit,” he said. “In Lagos, for example, people queue as early as 2:00 a.m. just to register, yet many still leave […]

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 […]

Madagascar President Dissolves Parliament Amid Political Crisis

Madagascar’s embattled President Andry Rajoelina has issued a decree dissolving the National Assembly, in a last-ditch attempt to stave off a political collapse as pressure mounts for his resignation. The president, who has reportedly fled the country, announced the decree on social media on Tuesday — just hours before lawmakers were expected to hold an impeachment vote against him. The political climate remains tense, with sections of the military and police now backing mass protests demanding that Rajoelina step down. According to a statement released by the presidency on Facebook, the decree “shall enter into force immediately upon its publication by radio and/or television broadcast.” Rajoelina defended his action in a separate online post, calling it a move to “restore order within our nation and strengthen democracy.” However, opposition leader Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, who was leading the impeachment effort, dismissed the […]

INEC Acting Chairperson Agbamuche-Mbu Meets Political Party Leaders Ahead of Anambra Poll

The Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, on Tuesday held a consultative meeting with chairmen and secretaries of all registered political parties at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja. The meeting, her first official engagement with political parties since assuming office in an acting capacity, forms part of INEC’s ongoing consultations with key stakeholders ahead of the November 2025 Anambra governorship election. According to a statement by the Commission, the interactive session was aimed at fostering robust discussions with political parties on crucial issues relating to the conduct of the forthcoming election. INEC said the meeting would also enable both the Commission and party representatives to “brainstorm over grey areas” and align strategies to ensure a seamless, credible, and transparent electoral process. “The Commission remains committed to deepening its engagement with political parties and other […]

Cameroon Opposition Leader Tchiroma Claims Election Victory

Cameroon’s opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary has declared victory in Sunday’s presidential election, challenging the long-standing rule of President Paul Biya, who has held power for 43 years. Tchiroma announced his self-proclaimed win on Facebook, saying, “Our victory is clear. It must be respected.” He urged the government to “accept the truth of the ballot box” or risk plunging the nation into unrest. The opposition leader also promised to release detailed results broken down by region. “The people have chosen,” Tchiroma stated, as he called on authorities to uphold what he described as the will of the people. Under Cameroonian law, while candidates are permitted to publish tally sheets, the official results are only valid when announced by the Constitutional Council — a boundary the government has warned must not be crossed. The situation recalls the 2018 election, when opposition […]
