Tanzania’s leading opposition presidential candidate Tundu Lissu on Thursday asked countries around the world not to recognise the eventual results of an election held the previous day, calling it a “travesty” citing irregularities.
Tundu Lissu, the main challenger to incumbent President John Magufuli, told Reuters the defects in the process meant that the results – expected within a week — could not be trusted.
Magufuli is seeking re-election an in presidential and parliamentary polls marked by complaints of restricted internet access and accusations of fraud.
The electoral commission, however, denied allegations of fake ballots, saying they were unofficial and unsubstantiated.
Lissu, 52, was shot 16 times in 2017 in what remains an unsolved case. He returned from three years in exile in July
