Nchimbi resigned on August 25, effective September 4, after less than a year in
office, honoring a pledge to President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
His ruling party expelled him the next day, parliament quickly named a replacement, and former Prime Minister Joseph Warioba raised alarms on August 28 after failing to reach him despite repeated attempts.
Online claims suggest house arrest and treason charges, but these remain unverified with no word from authorities or Nchimbi himself as of late August 29.
