Tume zote mbili INEC kwa Tanzania Bara na ZEC kwa Zanzibar zimeahidi kufanya uchaguzi ulio huru, wa amani na unaozingatia sheria. Mashirika ya kiraia na waangalizi wa kimataifa pia wanatarajiwa kufuatilia mchakato huo unaotazamwa kama kipimo muhimu cha demokrasia nchini.
Kupitia ujumbe aliouchapisha kwenye akaunti yake ya X mnamo Oktoba 26, Lissu alisema kuwa chumba chake cha gereza kimefungwa kamera za CCTV zinazorekodi kila hatua yake, hata anapojisaidia au kubadilisha nguo.
His request for bail was denied, as treason is considered a non-bailable offence under Tanzanian law.

Justice Ndunguru, delivering the ruling on behalf of the panel, noted that the case had consistently proceeded with witnesses and that the current delay was procedurally justified. He reiterated that the nature of the charge, treason, precluded the court from granting bail.
Kwa upande wake, Wakili wa Serikali Renatus Mkude alisisitiza kuwa ombi la kuahirisha shauri hilo linafuata misingi ya kisheria, akibainisha kuwa Jamhuri bado inaendelea na maandalizi ya ushahidi wake.
”From now, I’m in prison because of the upcoming election; otherwise, this case is over”.
Upande wa Jamhuri ukiwakilishwa na Wakili Mkuu wa Serikali Renatus Mkude ulisema baada ya kumaliza ushahidi wa shahidi huyo, unakwenda kutafakari maamuzi yaliyotolewa na Mahakama Kuu juu ya mapingamizi mawili ambayo yaliletwa na mshtakiwa kuhusiana na vielelezo ambavyo Mahakama imevikataa.
With less than a week to Tanzania’s general election, pressure is mounting over the disappearance of opposition figures and growing silence from President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who continues with her nationwide campaign trail.
Katika pingamizi hilo, Lissu alipinga uwasilishaji wa taarifa hiyo akieleza kuwa shahidi, Mkaguzi wa Jeshi la Polisi Samwel Elibariki Kaaya hana mamlaka ya kisheria ya kuandaa “report” bali “certificate” pekee ya uchunguzi, kwa mujibu wa tangazo la serikali linalomtambua chini ya kifungu cha 216(1) cha Sheria ya Ushahidi.
