Former Botswana President Ian Khama has publicly questioned the legitimacy of the recent election in Tanzania, expressing concern over reports of violence during the electoral process. He stated, “The recent election in Tanzania and from what transpired, the killings around the election… I for once do not recognise the person who was inaugurated as the President of Tanzania. She is an illegitimate president.”
Khama condemned the practice of leaders resorting to violence to secure power, highlighting the consequences for the people they govern. “It is totally unacceptable when an African leader, in order to stay in power, will resort to killing his or her own people. In order to stay in power, they will rig an election, as if they are God’s gift to their country,” he said.
He further emphasised the need for democratic inclusivity, noting, “When you have a country with millions of people, for any leader to think they are the only ones who can be president is pathetic.”
