Dar es Salaam. The treason trial of Chadema chairman Tundu Lissu which resumed yesterday, descended into a legal dispute after a prosecution witness linked his alleged calls to disrupt the 2025 General Election to the tearing of ballot papers.
The claim was made by the 16th prosecution witness, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Amin Mahamba, while giving evidence before the High Court in Dar es Salaam.
