1. It's time to unite our country and not destroy what we've built over more than six decades.
2. We will take all actions and involve all security agencies to ensure the country is peaceful.
3. We are well-prepared for security. Those who have failed to participate in the competition should not seek to disrupt our election.
Mahmoud Thabit Kombo
Chama Cha Mapinduzi
1. Currently, no excessive force has been used. There's no number until now of any protesters killed.
John Kitoka
Chadema Party
1. We are calling for the intervention by a credible body to oversee another fresh election.
2. What happened on the 29th of October was simply not an election so whatever comes out of it is illegitimate.
3. That is a slap on the people's face, and people are very angry, and very soon we are going to announce our reaction that could also include calling for national protests.

1. The government has curbed freedom of expression, ranging from a ban on X and restrictions on the Tanzanian digital platform JamiiForums to silencing critical voices through intimidation or arrest.
