Tanzania's electoral commission has cleared 17 presidential candidates to stand this time, the main opposition party, Chadema, is barred with its leader, Tundu Lissu, currently on trial for treason.

In a separate interview with the BBC, Tanzania's Foreign Minister Mahmoud Thabit Kombo has defended his government’s handling of post-election unrest and dismissed any figures of people killed or injured in the post election violence. He insisted that official data will only be released once investigations are complete.
