This was made most apparent by the 2019 local elections and the 2020 general elections.

Key Points: 
  • This was made most apparent by the 2019 local elections and the 2020 general elections.
  • The United Nations, research think-tanks and various media noted these elections as the most unfree and unfair since the return of the multiparty system in 1992.
  • The 2019 and 2020 elections, more than the previous ones, underscored the extent to which the electoral law could be abused by the state.
  • I have researched party politics in Tanzania and it is my view that electoral reforms are urgent, given that local elections are scheduled for December 2024.

History

  • To understand the influence of the ruling party’s control of the electoral framework in Tanzania it is important to look back at the history of the multiparty system.
  • This was later enshrined in the constitution of 1977, blurring the line between the ruling party and the state.
  • It comes as no surprise that all elections since the re-introduction of the multiparty system have delivered victory to the ruling party.

Reform package falls short

  • Under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, Tanzania sensed a golden opportunity to reform the election landscape.
  • Top of the agenda was electoral law reform.
  • This also featured strongly in submissions to a special task force formed by the government to collect opinions on political reforms.
  • The government promised to start the review process and subsequently tabled the electoral law reforms bills in the parliament.
