Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan has named former Finance Minister Mwigulu Nchemba as the new prime minister, days after her decisive win in the October 29 election. Parliament approved the nomination on Thursday, November 13. The vote drew sharp criticism from opposition groups, who alleged rigging and the barring of major candidates. ⁣ ⁣ Their claims fueled widespread protests that turned violent. The United Nations Human Rights Office has reported hundreds of deaths in the unrest. Opposition figures and activists say security forces killed more than 1,000 people, a number some rights organizations believe may be understated. The government calls these estimates inflated and has released no official tally. Hassan, president since 2021, insists the election was conducted fairly.⁣ ⁣ #Tanzania #Election #Primeminister #Hassan
