As Mr. Hamad said in his speech of acceptance of Shein's nomination, in these elections there was no a winner and a looser but all the Zanzibaris have won. They have won in ending the unnecessary conflict, they have won in paving the way for future peaceful and fair elections, they have won their attempt of building a prosperous Zanzibar.
CONGRATULATIONS DR. SHEIN
CONGRATULATIONS MR. HAMAD
CONGRATULATIONS DR. KARUME
CONGRATULATIONS ALL ZANZIBARIS
GOOD BLESS ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA AND AFRICA
