Dar es Salaam. The recent decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to create eight new parliamentary constituencies has sparked mixed reactions among political stakeholders, with many describing the move as both “sweet and bitter.”
This change increases the total number of constituencies to 272 across Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, and it is set to take effect in the upcoming general election later this year.
