Government workers and students have been ordered to stay home after violence marred voting in the East African country. President Samia Suluhu Hassan is widely expected to win a second term.

The East African country’s Party of Revolution, one of the longest-ruling parties on the continent, seeks to keep its grip on power.

Tanzanian police imposed a curfew in Dar es Salaam following violent protests tied to an election expected to favor President Hassan. Critics allege government repression, and disruptions were reported both in the capital and Arusha.

Police in Dar es Salaam used teargas and live bullets to disperse youths attempting to protest in Kimara Kibo as voting continued in Tanzania’s general elections.
