Tanzania’s former Vice President Emmanuel Nchimbi has reportedly been unreachable for several days after resigning from his position, according to former Prime Minister Joseph Warioba.
Warioba raised concerns about Nchimbi’s whereabouts, saying attempts to contact him had been unsuccessful since his resignation.
Nchimbi resigned as vice president days after President Samia Suluhu Hassan announced changes to the country’s leadership following growing political tensions.
His resignation has attracted public attention, with questions emerging about the circumstances surrounding his departure and his current whereabouts.
Nchimbi had served as Tanzania’s vice president under President Hassan and was regarded as a senior figure within the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party.
The former vice president’s reported unavailability has prompted calls for clarification from the government and his family.
Warioba said the situation was concerning, particularly because Nchimbi had previously been accessible and active in public affairs.
Authorities have not publicly provided detailed information about Nchimbi’s whereabouts or explained why he has reportedly been unreachable.
The development comes amid heightened political activity in Tanzania, where leadership changes and internal party matters have drawn increased public scrutiny.
Nchimbi’s resignation and the uncertainty surrounding his current situation have continued to fuel speculation as Tanzanians await an official explanation.
The former prime minister has urged relevant authorities to clarify Nchimbi’s status and reassure the public about his wellbeing.
