Ian Khama, the former President of Botswana, has openly criticised the recent electoral process in Tanzania, raising serious doubts about its fairness and the manner in which power has been retained. He highlighted allegations of violence linked to the election period, stating, “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’s remarks also address a wider concern about African leadership and the lengths some leaders may go to maintain their grip on power. He said, “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 further expressed frustration at the mindset of certain leaders, 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.”
