Dar es Salaam. A legal storm is brewing following the announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that opposition party Chadema will be barred from participating in the 2025 General Election and any subsequent by-elections for five years after refusing to sign the new electoral code of conduct.
During the April 12 signing event in Dodoma, INEC director Ramadhan Kailima declared, “A party which did not sign the code will not participate in this year’s general election or subsequent by-elections for five years.”
