Tanzania’s authorities have imposed a curfew in Dar es Salaam, the nation’s biggest city, following violent clashes between the police and protesters on Election Day.
Sources at the city’s Muhimbili Hospital told the BBC they had seen an influx of wounded patients, as Tanzanians voted in presidential and parliamentary elections.
The poll is expected to be a shoo-in for President Samia Suluhu and her ruling party, as the main opposition leader is in jail on treason charges, which he denies, and his party has boycotted the vote.
Tanzania’s chief of police, Camelius Wambura, declared that curfew would start at 6pm yesterday and urged people to stay indoors. END
