Executive Summary

On 2 July 2025, Tanzania’s main opposition party, CHADEMA, issued a formal statement alleging a deliberate attempt to poison its national chairman, Tundu Lissu, while he remains in state custody. The claim, reportedly based on “credible sources from multiple channels,” has sparked international concern, including high-level reactions from European political actors. This development marks a significant escalation in the targeting of opposition figures in Tanzania and may indicate the use of covert tactics involving state or state-adjacent actors.
