Tanzania’s opposition politician Tundu Lissu on Tuesday fled the country for Brussels, Belgium.
He sought refuge at the German embassy since Friday after complaining about a threat to his life.
Lissu previously spent over two years in Belgium after surviving an attempted assassination in September 2017.
A video has been posted on his Twitter handle showing him leaving for the airport accompanied by officials from the German embassy.
After last month’s presidential election which he lost to incumbent President John Magufuli, Lissu refused to accept the results.
He alleged that there were voting irregularities and fraud in the general election.
The head of the National Elections Commission, Semistocles Kaijage, however, rejected those claims, saying there was no evidence to that.
President Magufuli has since been sworn in for his second term in office.
