Nov 04, 2025

Dodoma [Tanzania], November 4: Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been sworn in for a second term, following a landslide victory in a disputed election that prompted deadly protests across the country.
Hassan took the oath of office during a ceremony on Monday at a military base in the capital, Dodoma. The event was closed to the public following the violence that accompanied a vote in which the two main opposition challengers were barred from running.
After coming to power in 2021 following the death in office of her predecessor, Hassan was declared the winner of the October 29 election with almost 98% of the vote, after running against candidates only from minor opposition parties.
Tension remained high in the commercial capital, Dar-es-Salaam, following three days of election protests. Shops were shuttered along nearly empty streets. (Agencies)
