attorney general and 2 others vs dr aman walid kabourou 1995 tzca 54 31 january 1995

The court held that the Electoral Commission's directives (TAMKO RASMI) were invalid due to improper signature, but the Commission has power to issue such regulations. Corrupt practices, use of government resources, media bias, intimidation, and improper vote counting rendered the election unfree and unfair, justifying nullification. The CCM candidate was not a Tanzanian citizen at the time of election, making him ineligible. Radio Tanzania Dar es Salaam was improperly joined as a party. The appeals were dismissed and the High Court's nullification of the election was upheld.
