Tanzania's populist President John Magufuli has accepted the official certification of his victory in the East African country's election last week. “During the election there were a few challenges but generally the election was safe and peaceful,” said Magufuli in a statement Sunday. Magufuli's announcement that he will not seek another term in office is significant, because his ruling party, Chama Cha Mapinduzi, has won nearly every seat in parliament, giving it the power to change the country’s constitution to allow Magafuli to run for additional terms.
