PM backs rally ban on security grounds, opposition to sue

Dar es Salaam. Fresh political tension has emerged following the government's decision to suspend public political rallies, with Prime Minister Mwigulu Nchemba defending the move as a security measure while opposition parties prepare legal and political responses.

Speaking at a public rally in Ikungi District, Singida Region, Mr Nchemba urged Tanzanians to focus on safeguarding peace and national security rather than debating political freedoms.
