On Friday, Tanzania’s main opposition party, Chadema, marked a “victorious day” after a court ruled its leader, Tundu Lissu, not guilty of treason.
The verdict ended a high‑profile legal battle that had seen Lissu charged with attempting to overthrow the government. The court’s decision cleared the opposition figure of all accusations.
Chadema officials and supporters celebrated the outcome, describing the ruling as a win for the party and for political freedom in the country.
While the case had drawn international attention, the court’s judgment was a significant moment for the opposition’s campaign to challenge the ruling administration.
Tanzania, located on the eastern coast of Africa, has a multi‑party political system in which Chadema is the largest opposition group.
