Ian Khama, the former President of Botswana, has publicly criticised the recent presidential election in Tanzania, expressing doubts about its legitimacy amid reports of election-related violence. 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 further condemned African leaders who use violence to maintain their hold on power, saying, “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 also highlighted the need for democratic inclusivity and plurality, adding, “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.”
