1 day agoTanzania election: Why CCM party is likely to retain power DW 10/27/2025
Tanzania's main opposition is largely absent from the presidential race, leaving CCM dominant and political competition at a historic low.
Opposition members accuse President Samia Suluhu Hassan of cracking down on dissent to stay in power. Voters in Tanzania are heading to polling booths on Wednesday to vote for a new president, as well as members of parliament and councillors, in elections which are expected to continue the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) or Party of Revolution's 64-year-long grip on power.
