President Samia Suluhu Hassan is widely expected to win a second term, with main opponents jailed or barred from running. Experts warn that voter apathy could magnify that outcome beyond campaign promises such as major infrastructure projects, hiring of school teachers, and universal health insurance. Protests erupted in Dar es Salaam during the election period and widespread internet disruptions were reported. Authorities declared a curfew in Dar es Salaam beginning at 06:00 p.m., with police and military patrols ordered. The main opposition party CHADEMA condemned the election as a "coronation" and said the process lacked genuine competition.
