President William Ruto has skipped the inauguration of President Samia Suluhu in Dodoma, Tanzania.
Instead, the President sent Deputy President Kithure Kindiki to represent him at the event that is currently ongoing following a contentious election on October 29.
Earlier today, the President congratulated Suluhu on her election, days after the Tanzanian election commission announced President Suluhu as the winner.
As international delegates continue to arrive for Suluhu’s inauguration, Presidents across Africa have been sending delegations to represent them.


Thank you to those presidents that have abstained this sham ceremony. It is encouraging to see that there are some presidents with sense and dignity. So many Tanzanians have been murdered so that this dictator can cling on to power. Her end will not be well.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Can’t believe that IdiotTyrol, the tribalist clown, is making sense. No one should have attended this event. 1000 people dead, the opposition in jail and a sham election just took place.
