UN TANZANIA STATEMENT ON TANZANIA GENERAL ELECTIONS
UN Resident Coordinator, Alvaro Rodriguez.
Dar
es Salaam, 29 October 2015: The United Nations is following very closely
the Tanzanian general elections of 25 October and congratulates the
president elect. We congratulate Tanzanians for exercising their
democratic rights in a peaceful manner. We take note of the
international observers statement (Commonwealth, AU, SADC and EU) of
today that indicates they are pleased that the voting and counting took
place in an environment of peace.
However,
the observer missions as well as the US Embassy and UK High Commission
have also shared their great concern with the statement issued by the
Chairman of the Zanzibar Electoral Commission in which he nullified the
Zanzibar elections.
We
call on political leaders to promote an environment of peaceful dialogue
to resolve their differences and to ensure a continued peaceful and
democratic elections process. It is through this peaceful and democratic
process that the social and economic development of the United Republic
of Tanzania can be ensured.
