CUF has reason to believe the governments of Zanzibar and Tanzania are planning to rig or to spoil the election in Zanzibar using the security forces. |
Despite the massive attempts of rigging, our returns indicate our presidential candidate has won with a very small margin. |
If the people of Zanzibar have been robbed of their choice, we will not accept it. |
The election is not a tsunami where you need the help of an army to rescue people. |
The persistence of poverty in Tanzania, especially in the rural areas, is cause for concern. |
We do not think it is now an opportune moment to call for nationwide strikes. We have to explore other avenues. |
We were also denied a total of 116 results forms from different polling stations in 11 rural constituencies. |
