We are pleased to confirm Hon. Tundu Lissu’s participation at the #IDUForum2020. Tundu Lissu is Vice-Chairman of @ChademaTz and was Presidential candidate in the recent elections in #Tanzania, which have been an example for an unfree, unjust and unrightful voting process.

On 9 April 2025 Mr @TunduALissu - Chairman of Tanzania’s CHADEMA party and IDU Vice Chairman- was arrested. His alleged crime? Speaking at a peaceful rally. Calling for electoral reform. Demanding fairness. He now faces charges of treason and publishing false information.
