4 | The October 30 General Elections will be the most tightly contested election in Tanzania's history since the introduction of multiparty politics in 1992. | Ho fifidianana miady indrindra eo amin'ny tantaran'i Tanzania ny fifidianana solombavam-bahoaka amin'ny 30 Oktobra hatramin'ny nisian'ny antoko politika maro tamin'ny 1992. |
5 | That is because of a sudden twist in the otherwise predictable plot of the country's domestic politics which saw a number of high profile defections to the main opposition party, Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), from the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM). | Izany dia noho ny fivoarana tampoka na firaisana tsikombakomba efa hita taratra amin'ny politika anatin'ny firenena, izay efa ahitana ny fisintahan'ireo olona ambony vitsivitsy teo amin'ny fitondrana ho any amin'ny antoko mpanohitra matanjaka, ny Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), avy amin'ny Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM). |
6 | Two former Prime Ministers, Edward Lowassa, the presidential candidate for the opposition bloc Ukawa, (made up of four political parties, including Chadema) and Frederick Sumaye, both left the comfort of the ruling party this summer. | Samy niala tao amin'ny antoko tsara toerana eo amin'ny fitondrana tamin'ity fahavaratra ity ireo Praiminisitra teo aloha anankiroa, dia i Edward Lowassa, ilay mpihazakazaka ho fidiana ho filoha avy amin'ny vondron'ny mpanohitra Ukawa, ( fikambanan'ny antoko politika efatra, isan'izany ny Chadema) sy i Frederick Sumaye. |
7 | The hugely popular and charismatic Lowassa defected in late July after he was eliminated from the list of presidential candidates for CCM. | Niala tamin'ny faran'ny volana Jolay i Lowassa, ilay mamim-bahoaka sy mahasarika olona, rehefa nesorina tsy ho isan'ny mpihazakazaka ho fidiana ho filoha tao amin'ny lisitry ny CCM. |
8 | The high profile defections have presented the opposition with a real chance of crushing CCM, which having been in power for the last 51 years is the longest-ruling party in Africa. | Nanam-bintana ny hanorotoro ny CCM ny antoko mpanohitra misy ireo olona ambony nisintaka. Antoko naharitra indrindra teo amin'ny fitondrana aty Afrika nandritra ny 51 taona ny CCM. |
9 | In an article written for the Huffington Post, the President of the opposition party Chadema Freeman Mbowe says that the CCM's fear of losing has led the party and its government to resort to increasingly dictatorial methods to maintain its grip on power: | Ambaran'i Chadema Freeman Mbowe, Filohan'ny antoko mpanohitra, ao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray ao amin'ny Huffington Post fa ny tahotry ny CCM ho resy no nahatonga ilay antoko sy ny governemantany hiroso amin'ny fitondrana jadona mba hijanonany eo amin'ny fitondrana : |
10 | Moved by fear of losing, the ruling party is now resorting to undemocratic methods to maintain its grip on power. | Matahotry ny ho resy, dia miroso amin'ny fomba tsy demokratika mba hijanonana eo amin'ny fitondrana ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana. |
11 | First, they passed a Draconian election expenses act which forbids the importation of any campaign materials, including flags, vehicles and finances, 90 days before the polling date. | Voalohany, nanao lalàna henjana momba ny fandaniana amin'ny fifidianana ry zareo, 90 andro mialoha ny datim-pifidianana, izay mandràra ny fanafarana ireo fitaovana rehetra fitondra amin'ny fampielezan-kevitra, ao anatin'izany ny saina, ny fiara ary ny vola. |
12 | This deadline fell three weeks before the party's official nomination day. | Nitontona telo herinandro mialoha ny andro filazana amin'ny fomba ôfisialy ny antoko mandray anjara io daty farany io. |
13 | How can any candidate purchase materials before they know they are the official nominee? | Ahoana moa no hahafahan'ny mpihazakazaka ho fidiana hividy fitaovana mialoha ny hahalalàny fa isan'ny mpifaninana ôfisialy izy ? |
14 | On Monday, the police arrested 19 Chadema youths who were signing up supporters. | Tamin'ny Alatsinainy, nosamborin'ny mpitandro filaminana ireo tanora Chadema 19 izay nirotsaka ho mpanohana. |
15 | They were arrested for the simple act of public campaigning. | Voasambotra noho ny hetsika tsotra, fanentanam-bahoaka izy ireo. |
16 | When the former Home Affairs Minister Lawrence Masha went to the police station to request their release, they arrested him, too. | Voasambotra ihany koa ny Minisitry ny Atitany teo aloha, Lawrence Masha, rehefa nandeha tany amin'ny biraon'ny polisy hangataka ny hamotsorana azy ireo. |
17 | The next day, the police ruled that our candidate Lowassa could not meet with the public. | Ny ampitso, namoaka didy ny mpitandro filaminana fa tsy mahazo mihaona amin'ny vahoaka i Lowassa mpihazakazakay. |
18 | CCM was shocked by the public reception the former prime minister received when he drove on a bus to bring attention to the desperate need for better public transportation in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city. | Tohina tamin'ny fandraisan'ny vahoaka ilay Praiminisitra teo aloha ny CCM rehefa nitaingina fiara fitateram-bahoaka izy mba hisarihana ny saina amin'ny filà maika ny hisian'ny fitateram-bahoaka tsaratsara kokoa any Dar es Salam, ilay tanàna lehibe indrindra any Tanzania. |
19 | Increasingly, the police are blocking our campaign's travel routes and disallowing our campaign plane from using airports. | Bahanan'ny mpitandro filaminana hatrany hatrany ny làlanay hanao fanentanana ary tsy avelany mampiasa ny seranam-piaramanidina ny fiaramanidina ampiasainay amin'ny fanentanana. |
20 | They have refused to grant our rally permits in the very grounds CCM held a rally only a few days before. | Tsy nomeny fahazoan-dàlana izahay mba hamory vahoaka ao amin'ny toerana izay namorian'ny CCM vahoaka andro vitsy lasa izay. |
21 | Finally, the government announced on September 1st, they will begin enforcing its free-speech suppressing “Cyber Security Act,” which makes it a crime to criticize the government in emails or across social media. | Farany, nambaran'ny governemanta tamin'ny voalohan'ny volana Septambra fa hanomboka hampihatra ilay ” lalàna fiarovana ny serasera amin'ny aterineto” manafoana ny fahazoana miteny malalaka ry zareo, izay mamadika ho heloka bevava ny fitsikerana ny governemanta amin'ny mailaka na amin'ny alàlan'ny haino aman-jery sosialy. |
22 | However, looking at the elections in general terms, Frank Charnas noted that the pre-vote competition shows Africa is becoming “more at ease with democracy”. | Na izany aza, raha ny fifidianana amin'ny ankapobeny no jerena, dia nomarihan'i Frank Charnas fa asehon'ny fifaninanana mialoha ny fifidianana fa manomboka ” zatra kokoa ny demokrasia” i Afrika. |
23 | He also pointed out that the outcome of the election will not only affect Tanzania: | Nambarany ihany koa fa tsy amin'i Tanzania irery ihany no hiantraika ny voka-pifidianana : |
24 | Put together, the upcoming Tanzanian elections are indicative of a continent becoming more at ease with democracy, and realising the power of a united and organised opposition. | Amin'ny ankapobeny, ilay fifidianana tanzaniana atao atsy ho atsy dia marika fa miha-zatra tsikelikely amin'ny demokrasia ilay tanibe, ary tsapa ny herin'ny mpanohitra miray sy mirindra. |
25 | It will take a concerted effort to unseat the CCM, but momentum appears to be behind Lowassa and his coalition, thus setting up what are expected to be the closest elections in the country's history, the outcome of which is sure to affect not just Tanzania, but the region and the continent as a whole. | Mila ezaka iombonana ny fanongotana ny CCM, saingy toy ny ao ambadik'i Lowassa sy ireo mpiara-dia aminy hatrany ny hery hiroso sy ny fahavononana amin'ny fiandrasana ny fifidianana efa akaiky eo amin'ny tantaran'ny firenena. Azo antoka fa tsy ho an'i Tanzania irery ny vokatra azo eo fa ho an'ny faritra sy ny tanibe manontolo. |
26 | It is no wonder that Twitter is abuzz with election-related opinions and insights: | Tsy mahagaga fa hipoky ny fanehoankevitra sy fijery mifandraika amin'ny fifidianana ny Twitter : |
27 | For one, this will undoubtedly be the most “tech-savy” election in Tanzanian history, wrote Robert Kasenene: | Ity indray mandeha ity no tsy isalasalana fa fifidianana “ampiasàna teknolojia” indrindra teo amin'ny tantaran'i Tanzania, araka ny nosoratan'i Robert Kasenene : |
28 | These elections will be the most tech-savy #Tanzania has had yet. | Ireto fifidianana ireto no fifidianana ampiasàna teknolojia indrindra any #Tanzania. |
29 | Right now its the battle of airial drone photography. | Fifidianana hisian'ny adin'ny drona fakàna sary avy eny an'habakabaka manomboka izao. |
30 | Who's winning? | Iza no handresy ? |
31 | - Robert Kasenene (@RKasenene) August 24, 2015 In reference to the conviction of the son of Senegalese president, Karim Wade, for corruption, Marielaura observed: | Izao no hitan'i Merielaura raha niteny momba ny fanamelohana an'i Karim Wade, ilay zanaky ny Filoha Senegaly, noho ny kolikoly : |
32 | While in Tanzania corrupt politicians get off scot free and even compete in elections | |
33 | Tanzanian blogger Jeff Msangi considered this year's election to be a “wild card game”: | Afaka maimaim-poana amin'ny sazy eny fa na dia amin'ny fifaninanana amin'ny fifidianana aza ireo mpanao politika mpanao kolikoly. |
34 | Tanzania 2015 Elections are slowly turning out to be the “wild card” games. | Ilay Tanzaniana mpitoraka bilaogy, Jeff Msangi, dia nihevitra fa “lalao anaty akata” ny fifidianana amin'ity taona ity: |
35 | Whoever plays it well,carries the advantage posture. | Mizotra miandalana mankany amin'ny lalao “anaty akata” ny fifidianana 2015 any Tanzania. |
36 | - Jeff Msangi (@BongoCelebrity) August 26, 2015 | Izay mahay milalao no mahazo ny toerana tsara. |
37 | While some took note of the rise of a politically engaged youth in the country: | Ny sasany kosa nanamarika ny fitombon'ny fandraisana anjaran'ireo tanora ao an-toerana amin'ny politika : |
38 | Whoever gets the Youth vote in #Tanzania October elections will win https://t.co/YL9dQxMSdr | Izay mahazo ny vaton'ny tanora amin'ny fifidianana any #Tanzania amin'ny Oktobra no handresy |

41 | Awareness is too high compared to previous elections | Avo lenta ny fahatsiarovantena raha oharina amin'ireo fifidianana tany aloha. |
42 | - Straight Talk Africa (@VOAShaka) August 19, 2015 But who will be to blame if the ruling party loses? | Fa iza no homen-tsiny raha toa ka resy ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana ? |
43 | Many think incumbent President Jakaya Kikwete: | Maro no mihevitra hoe ny Filoha am-perinasa Jakaya Kikwete: |
44 | If @ELowassa trounce @MagufuliJP in Tanzania's oncoming elections,the blame will squarely be on @jmkikwete,a legacy of isolation,confusion, - Blamuel Ndiema (@blamuel_ndiema) August 14, 2015 | Raha manamontsana an'i @MagufuliJP i @ELowassa amin'io fifidianana ho avy any Tanzania io, dia mivantana tsotra izao any amin'i @jmkikwete ny fanomezan-tsiny, lova navelan'ny fitokana-monina, saritaka, |

49 | - barakbob (@barakbob1) August 13, 2015 Elections determine who is in power, but they do not determine how power is used…. | Ny fifidianana no mamaritra izay ho eo amin'ny fitondrana, saingy tsy ny fifidianana no mamaritra ny fomba fampiasana ny fahefana…. |
