Police in Tanzania have arrested the chairman of the main opposition party in the wake of a disputed election.
Freeman Mbowe was detained, along with two other Chadema leaders, for planning violent protests, according to the police.
President John Magufuli was re-elected with 84% of the vote, Friday’s official results showed.
But the opposition said Wednesday’s poll was fraudulent and called for peaceful demonstrations.
Chadema’s presidential candidate Tundu Lissu told reporters that he had also heard of the arrest of party leaders in other parts of the country.
