| Description | Nine Tanzanian government ministers have lost their parliamentary seats to the opposition Ukawa coalition, partial results from Sunday's vote show.
It is the biggest shock of the election so far which is the most competitive in the country's history.
The BBC's Arnold Kayanda in the main city Dar es Salaam says it is a big blow to the governing CCM party.
But it is too early to predict the end of its 54-year rule as there are many results still to be declared, he says.
The electoral commission has until Thursday to announce the final results. |
