The posters, which feature her face and campaign messages, have appeared in Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, and Mwanza, indicating an early start to the election season.
President Samia, who assumed office in 2021 following the death of former President John Magufuli, is seeking a new mandate amidst mounting criticism of her leadership style and economic policies.
Her campaign focusses on national unity, infrastructure investment, and empowering women and youth.
Photos of Tanzania's bright campaign scenes have sparked conflicting reactions on social media in Kenya.
Many Kenyans praised the campaigns' organisation and pleasant atmosphere, pointing out how clean and well-organised the posters appeared.
Others noticed parallels with Kenya's own election process, which was frequently defined by fierce competitiveness and political turmoil.
Some Kenyans joked that they are already planning for a similar scenario in 2027, with posters of their chosen candidates set to overwhelm cities and villages.
Some argued for stronger issue-based campaigning in Kenya, while others lauded Tanzania's early and disciplined political engagement.
As Tanzania prepares to vote, regional observers are watching intently to see how President Samia's leadership and campaign tactics will shape East Africa's political environment — and possibly inspire similar methods in neighbouring Kenya.
