Observation mission says Tanzanian election did not comply with AU standards

NAIROBI, Kenya: African Union election observers said late Wednesday that the integrity of Tanzania’s recently concluded elections was “compromised,” citing incidents of “ballot stuffing at several polling stations.” President Samia Suluhu Hassan won the October 29 poll with 98 percent of the vote, according to the electoral commission, but the opposition, which was barred from participating, branded the election a “sham.” Violent protests broke out across the country on election day.
