Ian Khama, former President of Botswana, has openly criticised the recent election in Tanzania, disputing its legitimacy and citing reports of violence surrounding the polls. He said, “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 highlighted concerns about authoritarian leadership in Africa, stating, “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 emphasised democratic principles by 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.”
