The BBC has since spoken to families of some of the victims of the electoral violence, who are still seeking answers.
Many, like Mwajuma Hamisi, have been left destitute. Her husband George Kisivani was shot in the northern city of Arusha on 29 October 2025, the day of the vote, and died two days later.
“I lost my husband, upon whom we, a family with five children, depended. We now have no other source of support. I am left to fight for the family on my own. We have no other assistance,” the 32-year-old told the BBC.
She now sells vegetables at a nearby market to support the family – and would like help from the government.
Sane, who shot in the leg in Arusha, has been suffering physically and financially.
The father of three says he has undergone more than five major operations to deal with the gunshot wound. He still needs further surgery but says he can no longer afford treatment.
“We have done everything within our means, but we have reached our limit,” the 33-year-old told the BBC.
“The government should look into the situation of those of us who have suffered these tragedies, so that we can receive medical treatment, as some of us are still very sick.”
He explained how in the wake of the violence hospitals initially refused to treat injured people.
In the intervening months, his relatives have sought help from local officials and the district commissioner, but he says they were told the government had not allocated a budget for victims of the violence.
The BBC has not independently verified his account of those conversations.
A commission of inquiry’s report into the violence was handed to President Samia in April, officially recording 518 deaths.
But Amnesty has criticised the fact that the full report has not yet been made public, saying it “entrenches a culture of secrecy”.
The president has since set up another commission to inquiry to identify those behind the violence.
“It is imperative that this new commission comprehensively address the role of security forces in the election-related crackdown,” Chagutah said.
