Dar es Salaam. In a rare show of democracy in recent years, thousands of members and supporters of the opposition Chadema marched to the United Nations (UN) offices in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday in protest at proposed changes to electoral laws.
“We have submitted a letter to the UN System Coordinator in Tanzania and we expect the same will be submitted to the UN Secretary-General in New York,” Chadema national chairman Freeman Mbowe told journalists shortly after leaving the UN country offices.
