ACT-WAZALENDO advocates for political reform and economic growth in Zanzibar

The leader of ACT-WAZALENDO, Othman Masoud Othman, has called on Zanzibaris to embrace a reconciliation agreement with the ruling party CCM.This deal aims to end decades of electoral disputes and political instability by reforming governance systems and strengthening democratic institutions.The agreement includes a roadmap for legal reforms, particularly in the electoral system, to ensure free and fair elections.Othman emphasized that the accord is not about power-sharing but restoring citizens' right to choose leaders.

He highlighted Zanzibar's economic potential, comparing it to Mauritius, and stressed the need for domestic revenue mobilization to reduce reliance on external aid.The reforms are expected to improve governance, accountability, and long-term development priorities.Critics who oppose the agreement are dismissed as being motivated by personal interests rather than national unity.Successful implementation could break Zanzibar's cycle of disputed elections and political unrest ahead of the 2025 general elections.
