Tanzania's losing opposition presidential candidate Tundu Lissu left the country on Tuesday evening for Belgium.

The opposition leader spent nearly three years in Belgium recuperating from gunshot injuries sustained in a 2017 assassination attempt, before he came back to Tanzania to run for president.
