The Spin

Opposition narrative

The electoral system requires urgent reform as it heavily favors the ruling party, making free and fair elections impossible. The government's use of force, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics against opposition members demonstrate the need for comprehensive electoral reform and meaningful changes before any legitimate election can take place.

Amnesty International

Pro-government narrative

The electoral code of conduct is a crucial legal requirement that ensures free and fair elections, and all parties must comply with established procedures. CHADEMA's refusal to participate in the mandatory signing process shows its unwillingness to follow electoral laws, making its disqualification a natural consequence of its own actions.
