Tanzania: Campaigning officially begins ahead of elections
Campaigning has begun in Tanzania ahead of a general election due at the end of October.
President John Magufuli, who is seeking re-election, faces 14 challengers. The ruling CCM party has dominated Tanzania鈥檚 politics for decades.
In the last election, a united opposition gave the party the strongest challenge yet, but the crowded race this time could give the president greater advantage.
