The commission investigating violence linked to Tanzania’s October 29, 2025 general election says it is in the final stages of its work, with a report set to be handed to Samia Suluhu Hassan on April 23.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam, commission chair, Mohamed Chande Othman said the team has nearly completed compiling its findings after months of collecting and analyzing evidence across the country.
He described the process as detailed and wide-reaching, involving site visits and multiple forms of testimony from the public and stakeholders.
According to Chande, the commission has received evidence from 63,603 Tanzanians through different channels.
These include 1,323 face-to-face interviews, 553 sworn affidavits, 4,891 anonymous questionnaires, 202 group sessions, and 56,445 submissions through phone calls and text messages.
The investigation covered 11 regions and 21 districts, with officials saying public cooperation played a major role in gathering information.
“The commission is in its final stages and will submit the report to the president on Thursday,” Chande said, confirming the April 23 submission date.
The probe was established following widespread reports of unrest and alleged abuses during and after the election period, which drew attention both locally and internationally.
