President Évariste Ndayishimiye of Burundi urged Tanzanians to safeguard peace as their nation begins a new leadership term. Speaking at the swearing-in of President Samia Suluhu Hassan at Chamwino State House in Dodoma on Monday, he praised Tanzania for maintaining calm and stability for six decades. He emphasized that peace cannot be bought and must be defended through shared responsibility and solidarity.
The Burundian leader highlighted the historic ties linking the two countries since independence and pledged continued diplomatic and security cooperation. He pointed to joint border operations as essential for protecting citizens from threats that could spark violence in the region. Ndayishimiye noted that Burundians share in the joy of Tanzanians as they prepare for five years of governance under their newly elected officials.
Tanzania held its general election on October 29, with voters selecting the president, members of parliament and ward councillors for the 2025 to 2030 term. The poll provided eligible citizens an opportunity to shape the nation’s direction and reinforce democratic practices across local and national levels.
