DAR ES SALAAM: Tanzanian opposition party Chadema said two of its members were killed on the eve of Wednesday’s local elections, and accused the authorities of rigging the vote.
Chadema said in a statement that a candidate, George Juma Mohamed, was shot dead by ruling party supporters in his home late Tuesday, while a local party leader, Steven Chalamila, was killed in a machete attack.
The party also detailed irregularities in voting in seven constituencies, including ballot-stuffing.
