Did you know? October 29 needs you

DAR ES SALAAM: DID you know that when you vote, you are not just choosing leaders, you are shaping Tanzania’s future? As the General Elections draw near on October 29th, every eligible citizen has a chance to make history, not by watching from the sidelines, but by showing up and casting their vote.

Voting is not just a right; it’s a duty that empowers you to influence the decisions that affect your life, your family and your community.

Did You Know? Change doesn’t happen by chance-it happens by choice; Leaders are chosen by those who show up; You don’t need to shout-just vote; Your tribe, religion or party doesn’t matter-Tanzania comes first; Disability is not inability. Every vote counts.

The power of participation

When everyone participates, from every walk of life, we get a government that better reflects our values, our needs and our vision. That means better healthcare, better schools, better roads and better services.

But when you don’t vote, you give up that power to someone else. Whether you are young or old, Christian or Muslim, from the coast or the highlands, we are one Tanzania and the ballot box is where our unity shines brightest.

Why physical participation matters

Yes, online conversations are important. Yes, hashtags trend. But real change happens at the polling station.

Physically showing up ensures your vote is counted, your presence is felt and your voice is heard loud and clear.

A call to all

To the youth: Don’t just post participate. To religious leaders: Mobilise your congregations. Preach peace, not division. To persons with disabilities: Accessibility measures are in place your voice matters too.

To everyone: The 29th is not just another day it is Democracy Day. Did you know? The future is not something we wait for it is something we vote for. See you at the polls!
