The polls put the country in the headlines amid allegations of electoral irregularities.
Did Samia Suluhu win the Tanzanian General Election?
Authorities imposed a curfew from dusk to dawn protest of violence erupting in various parts of the country, with reports indicating that more than 700 people lost their lives during the unrest.
President Samia, who received approximately 98% of the total votes cast, will now serve as head of state Tanzania until 2030.
Although the president is a public figure, not much is known about his family, which prefers to keep a secret.
President Samia is married to Hafidh Ameir, and together they have four children, three sons and one daughter.
Who is Samia Suluhu’s daughter?
Her daughter, Wanu Hafidh Ameir, has attracted public attention by choosing to follow closely in her mother’s footsteps.
Unlike his brothers and his father, who do not seem to be famous, Wanu has made a name for himself in the political arena.
He was born in 1982 and is a member of Tanzania’s ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), where his mother serves as the chairperson.
He has been an active participant in the country’s politics for almost two decades.
Wanu has served as a Member of Parliament in the House of Representatives of Zanzibar since 2005, a position that has placed him within the political circles of CCM and set him as a possible example for his mother.
During the 2025 General Election, he not only campaigned for his mother’s presidential bid but also ran for the presidency again.
His efforts bore fruit, as he successfully defended his seat, continuing his parliamentary position, and his mother also won.
Beyond politics, Wanu is also reportedly married to Mohammed Mchengerwa, who served as a minister in President Samia’s previous cabinet.
For now, it remains to be seen if he will climb the corridors of power again in the new government of President Samia.
Few details are known about the personal lives of Wanu and Mchengerwa and whether they have children together.

Has internet connection been restored in Tanzania?

Internet outages across the country began on election day, October 29, as violent protests erupted amid allegations of election law violations.
Following the inauguration of President Samia, internet connectivity was partially restored, but shortly after, the police reportedly sent a stern warning to the public.
The leaked messages shared by CNN’s international correspondent, Larry Madowoshowed that citizens were warned against sharing photos or videos of the images, with authorities warning that those who do so will face legal penalties.
