Jonathan Leads Observers To Tanzania

Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, will lead observers from 33 Commonwealth countries to Tanzania for the country’s general election which holds on October 25, 2015.

This was announced on Thursday by the acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Yahya Simba, at a joint meeting organised by the UN and Tanzania, which was held in Dar es Salaam.

It was also disclosed that former Mozambican President, Armando Guebuza, will lead the African Union observers to the poll.

Simba urged Tanzanians to exercise their rights and adhere to the rule of law to ensure that peace and stability prevail.

He stressed that every citizen has a role to play in ensuring peace reigns in Tanzania for continuous prosperity.

Also, the UN Resident Coordinator for Tanzania, Alvaro Rodriguez, shared the same sentiment with Simba.

He said, “Men and women in Tanzania look forward to peaceful and credible general elections and their voices to be heard on October 25, the date of the elections.”
