Tanzania VP Resigns Amid Election Tensions | Little Rock News

Tanzania’s Vice President Emmanuel Nchimbi resigns abruptly after just under a year in office, citing President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s desire for a different deputy — sparking speculation of a brewing power struggle. The move comes amid tensions over the government’s handling of post-election violence that left hundreds dead, with authorities deploying military force and cutting internet access — later apologized for by the president.

Meanwhile, President Hassan’s election victory has been marred by controversy, as her main opponent was disqualified and now faces politically charged charges.
