AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> Candidates eying the presidential seat in the Isles government have now reached eleven after two aspirants yesterday collected nomination from the Zanzibar Electoral Commission (ZEC).<\/p>\n

Democratic Party (DP)’s Shafii Hassan Suleiman and the National Reconstruction Alliance (NRA)’s Khamis Faki Mgau collected nomination forms, both promising to improve the lives of Zanzibaris if elected.<\/p>\n

After being given the forms, the aspirants spoke to reporters, making several promises including improving the welfare of civil servants.<\/p>\n

They said that, since teachers fall into the cadre of civil servants that receive as low as 800,000\/- per month, once elected they will improve the package.<\/p>\n

“If I am nominated and then elected president, promoting a blue economy will be one of my priority areas,” Mr Suleiman said. On his part, Mgau proclaimed: \u201cI will ensure that all widows, and vulnerable groups have better life.”<\/p>\n

Others who have collected the nomination forms from ZEC include Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi (CCM), Mr Ameir Hassan Ameir (Demokrasia Makini), MrIssa Mohamed Zongs (Sauti ya Umma- SAU), and Mr Omar Juma (Chama Cha Ukombozi wa Umma – CHAUMMA).<\/p>\n

Mr Hamad Mohamed Ibrahim (United People’s Democratic Party- UPDP), Mr Juma Ali Khatib (African Democratic Alliance Party- ADA-TADEA), Mr Mfaume Khamis (National League for Democracy-NLD) and Mr Hamad Rashid Mohamed (Alliance for Democratic Change-ADC), and Mr Said Soud Said African Farmers Party-AAFP) are other applicants.<\/p>\n

ZEC Chairman Chief Justice (retired) Hamid Mahmoud Hamid, promised to observe election laws before election campaigns begin on September 11, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
