Dar es Salaam. ACT-Wazalendo yesterday expressed strong disagreement with the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) decision to officially remove its presidential candidate, Mr Luhaga Mpina, from the list of nominees for the forthcoming General Election.
In a statement signed by secretary-general Ado Shaibu, ACT-Wazalendo said the commission’s decision disregards legal principles and denies justice to both the candidate and the party.
