Tanzania – Elections to go ahead

TANZANIAN President John Magufuli said on Thursday the country’s October 2020 general elections will be held as planned despite the COVID-19 outbreak.

‘The elections will be held as planned. There are people who think that the elections will be postponed. Nobody wants to stay in office forever,’ he said in an event televised live by state-run Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation.

Magufuli spoke about the forthcoming general elections shortly after he had received two annual reports from the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) and the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) at the Chamwino State House in the capital Dodoma.
