AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE announcement of general election results in 24 hours has enabled the National Electoral Commission (NEC) to save about 63bn\/-.<\/p>\n

This was revealed at the weekend by NEC Director of Elections, Dr Wilson Mahera, during the handover of a certificate of election to President elect, Dr John Magufuli, in Dodoma Region.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Mahera, through the use of modern technology for the first time NEC announced presidential election results in 24 hours unlike previous elections.<\/p>\n

He said a sophisticated system developed by Tanzanians had helped to speed up the tallying of votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time in the country\u2019s history, the presidential election results were released in 24 hours since the closure of polling stations.\u201d<\/p>\n

NEC Chairman retired Judge Semistocles Kaijage thanked the government and stakeholders for supporting NEC to organise and hold the general election peacefully.<\/p>\n

He said this year\u2019s general election was funded by the government of Tanzania and conducted in compliance with the Constitution, electoral laws and regulations.<\/p>\n

NEC Director of Elections, Dr Wilson Charles, said NEC had so far received names from political parties nominating its members for special seats in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Dr Charles said only political parties that had at least 5 per cent of parliamentary positions qualified for special seats\u2019 representation in the lawmaking body.<\/p>\n

Dr Charles said further that it was on record that two women had run for the presidency and five others for the vice-presidency.<\/p>\n

A total of 15 political parties had their candidates for the presidential post in this year’s general election.<\/p>\n

On the polluting-day, Tanzanians voted at 80,155 polling stations across the country for the President, Members of Parliament (MPs) and councillors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
