Dar es Salaam. The decision to extend the mandate of the commission investigating the October 29 election-related chaos reflects the growing scale, complexity and sensitivity of the task facing the inquiry.

The commission, chaired by Justice (rtd) Mohamed Chande, was initially given 90 days to investigate the incidents. However, the timeline proved insufficient as the volume of evidence and public interest continued to rise.
