CUF: We won’t recognise winner

The committee’s one-day meeting was led by its chairman, who doubles as Zanzibar’s CUF deputy secretary general, Mr Nassor Ahmed Mazrui, as it discussed various issues, including the Dimani by-election held last Sunday.

What you need to know:

  • The party said it was not recognising the winner the same way it would not recognise the government.
  • CUF claimed that Dimani constituents were given a fair chance of choosing their MP and instead were given a person chosen by state organs under the wish of CCM. The statement was made on Tuesday by the CUF consultation committee that met at its Vuga offices in Unguja.
