Tanzania's First Resigning VP Steps Down | Global News

Just months after being sworn in as Samia Suluhu Hassan’s running mate, he announced his exit via Instagram, citing respect for the president’s wishes and pledging to retire from public life by next week. His resignation follows tensions with the president and controversial remarks about drafting a new constitution by 2030.
