Pledges to Ease Farmer-Herder Conflicts

Candidates unveiled plans to reduce farmer-herder conflicts in the run-up to the elections. ACT-Wazalendo’s Hassan Thabiti Mbaruku proposed designating separate farming and grazing areas in Kilosa. CCM’s Samia Suluhu Hassan pledged to expand grazing lands from 3.4 to 6 million acres, enforce wildlife management, and strengthen rural infrastructure and agricultural support. Both plans aimed to reduce conflicts and improve livelihoods across Tanzania.
