Tanzanian President Hassan wins disputed election : NPR

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan won a disputed election with more than 97% of the vote, receiving her certificate in Dodoma and urging unity while vowing to keep the country peaceful. Critics called it a coronation after two main rivals were barred; she faced 16 smaller-party candidates. Protests turned violent, prompting military deployments, intermittent internet, and a postponement of university reopenings. The U.N. cited credible reports of 10 deaths, and the U.N. chief and the foreign ministers of the U.K., Canada and Norway urged steps to prevent escalation as roadblocks and ID checks marked Dar es Salaam.
