mwanzotv also reported that Diamond Platnumz has fled to Mombasa, Kenya, amid growing tensions and protests in Tanzania.
President Suluhu was the flagbearer for the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), and her re-election bid had been endorsed by Tanzanian stars, including Diamond.
The protests began on Thursday after a disputed general election marked by disqualification and detention of the key opposition figures in Tanzania.
The protesters demanded cancellation of the election results, alleging irregularities in the country’s presidential election.
In related news, Legit.ng also reported that Tanzanian singer Juma Jux's store reportedly valued at $780 million was rumoured to have been set ablaze by protesters.
Reacting to the rumours, Juma Jux’s wife, Priscilla Ojo, dismissed the claims, noting that the clothing store was looted and not burnt.
