The electoral commission in Tanzania announced on Saturday that incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won the presidential election. This historic event makes her the first woman to be elected to the office in the country. Samia Suluhu Hassan came to power in 2021 following the death of her predecessor, John Magufuli. The elections were held in a peaceful atmosphere, and international observers noted their transparency. "I am grateful to the Tanzanian people for the trust they have placed in me," the winner stated. "Together, we can build a better future for our nation."
