Tanzania Commission Says 518 Were Killed in October 2025 Post-Election Violence, Far Below Opposition Estimates
A presidential commission of inquiry, chaired by former Chief Justice Mohamed Chande Othman, delivered its 153-day investigation to President Samia Suluhu Hassan on April 24, 2026, finding 518 deaths and 2,390 injuries during the violence that followed Tanzania's disputed October 29, 2025 general election. The main opposition party CHADEMA rejected the findings; Western diplomats had previously estimated 1,000 to 2,000 deaths.
