Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has announced that he will be staging anti-government protests twice a week, beginning next week Monday and Thursday.
This move comes in the wake protests held in Nairobi on Monday, in which his supporters engaged police officers in anti-riot police officers.
In his announcement, Odinga said the protests would continue until the government heeds to the opposition's demands.
The former prime minister demanded that the Independent Electoral Commission Boundaries opens its servers to ascertain the results of the presidential election.
While the numbers do not necessarily reflect a fully free and fair electoral competition, these African heads of state hold the record for landslide victories which often occurred in elections where opposition was locked out of participation, was weak or boycotted the polls altogether, or where the ruling party held dominant control.
For a nation that has enjoyed peace and political stability for decades, the protests and its intensity caught many by surprise as Tanzanians turned to tactics that have been used elsewhere across the world
