Tanzanian authorities have confirmed another resounding victory for the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) in local government elections, even though the outcome raised persistent questions about fairness, just as in previous elections.
In final results announced by the Ministry of Regional Administration and Local Governments (Tamisemi) at 10pm on Thursday, CCM won 99.01 per cent of the village, street and hamlet seats at stake in the November 27 ballot, again leaving the opposition in a befuddled state.
