Tanzania’s President John Magufuli has won re-election with a landslide victory in a poll that the opposition has described as fraudulent.
Mr Magufuli’s main rival, Tundu Lissu, has said his party’s agents were prevented from entering polling stations during Wednesday’s election.
The National Electoral Commission (NEC) has dismissed the claims of fraud.
In its final results, the NEC said the president took 84% of the vote, while Mr Lissu received 13%.
An observer mission from the East African Community said on Friday that the election was “conducted in a regular manner.”
