Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan has taken an early lead as vote counting continues across the country following the just-concluded elections.
Preliminary results from several polling stations show Samia leading in key regions, with her party enjoying strong support in both urban and rural areas.
Election officials, however, have urged the public to remain calm and patient as tallying continues, emphasizing that the official results will only be announced by the National Electoral Commission (NEC) once verification is complete.
Observers on the ground have described the voting process as largely peaceful, though minor delays were reported in some polling stations.
More updates to follow as the situation develops.
