Dodoma. As the curtain begins to fall on Tanzania’s 12th Parliament on Friday, all eyes turn to President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who is expected to deliver the closing speech that could set the tone for the October General Election.

The address marks the official winding up of a parliament that has been marked by extensive legislative activity, deep political undertones and growing indications of ruling party confidence ahead of the polls.
