Opposition supporters accuse the government undermining democracy, and say the elections are not free and fair.

(Reuters) -Tanzanian police ordered a curfew in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday after violent protests marred an election that President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win following the disqualification of the two leading opposition candidates.

Incumbent Samia Suluhu Hassan has been declared the winner of Tanzania’s presidential election with 98 per cent of the vote, a result opposition leaders declared a mockery of the democratic process.

The Tanzanian government deployed the military and ordered a curfew in Dar es Salaam after violence broke out on election day. Can the government reclaim Tanzania's image as a peaceful, stable nation?

As the violence continued for a third day, the United Nations said at least 10 people had been killed. Opposition leaders claimed the death toll could be in the hundreds.
