The AU and EAC are sending election observers to Tanzania to ensure a fair, transparent vote on October 29, 2025.

The African Union and East African Community have deployed election observation missions to Tanzania ahead of its October 29, 2025, general election. The AU team, led by former Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi, and the EAC mission, headed by former Ugandan Vice President Dr. Speciosa Kazibwe, will monitor the process for fairness, transparency, and compliance with regional and international standards. Both missions will assess voting, counting, and results announcement, engage with stakeholders, and issue reports. Tanzania’s government welcomed the efforts, citing improved voter registration and preparations guided by prior assessments. The missions emphasize non-interference and aim to support a credible, peaceful election.
