Former Botswana President Ian Khama has publicly rejected the outcome of Tanzania’s recent presidential election, voicing serious concerns about its legitimacy and the violence associated with the process. Khama remarked on the killings reported around the election, 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.”
He further criticised African leaders who take extreme measures to retain power, emphasising the moral implications of such actions. “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,” Khama stated.
Reflecting on leadership and democracy, he added, “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.”
