Tanzania will begin the process of drafting a new constitution after the 2025 general elections.
A statement issued by the State House says a new constitution will be among other long-term issues that will be addressed then.
This comes after the release of the country’s main opposition leader Freeman Mbowe, of the Chadema party.
He alleged his court case was politically motivated because he had started a movement demanding a new constitution but the Tanzania government denies that allegation.
Last week, in an interview President Samia Suluhu Hassan refused to discuss the constitution, saying it was a “matter between herself and Tanzanians”.
